Jose Mourinho has shared that he simply loved playing against Arsenal during his time as Chelsea manager.
Jose Mourinho, who had two very successful spells at Stamford Bridge, is regarded by many as the best to ever sit in the Blues home dugout.
The 61-year-old’s enjoyed huge success during his managerial career at various clubs. We may be bias in saying his time at Chelsea outweighs the rest, though.
He’s currently out of work after being dismissed by Roma a month ago.
Speaking in an interview this week, Mourinho has reflected on a big rivalry during his time in England. He boasted that it was great playing against Arsenal when he was Chelsea boss because he always beat them.
“When people speak about me and [Arsene] Wenger, we had our things on the touchline and words, but what I most enjoyed was beating Arsenal every time we played against them. It was every time Chelsea boom, boom, boom. That was what I enjoyed,” Mourinho told FIVE’s YouTube channel.

Mourinho’s career record as a manager versus Arsenal is impressive. He’s got 12 wins, eight draws and only three defeats in 23 meetings.
Will we ever see the Portuguese legend back in west London for a third crack as Chelsea manager?
Journalist Rudy Galetti told Tribal Football last April that Mourinho was waiting for a call from Chelsea about becoming manager again.
You could argue some things are best left in the past, though.
