Ranieri old,Wenger a failure:Mourinho mockery coming back to haunt him

Throughout his coaching career, Jose Mourinho has often had the last laugh. The most successful coach in the past decade along with Bayern Munich and former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, the Portuguese has relished putting down some of his counterparts. This season, however, it no longer seems so clever.
 


The Portuguese replaced Ranieri at Chelsea for his first spell in 2004. "It was the end of the cycle," he said back then. But he later attacked the Italian when the two men were working in Serie A, Mourinho at Inter and Ranieri at Juventus.
 "Ranieri has the mentality of someone who doesn’t need to win," he said in 2008. "He is almost 70 years old, he has won a Supercup and another small trophy and he is too old to change his mentality. He’s old and he hasn’t won anything."

Today, Chelsea travel to Leicester for a meeting with the Premier League's surprise package in 2015-16 - and his old foe Claudio Ranieri.
