Chelsea boss Conte on FA Cup final: Jose and I are better now

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says he and Manchester United counterpart Jose Mourinho has ended their public feud.

The pair will face-off next month in the FA Cup final.

While the Italian has warned his counterpart there can be only winner in the final, he insists they have buried the hatchet.

Conte said: “With Jose, we have clarified the situation. This is the most important thing. There is not a problem between him and I.

“We are talking about two managers with strong characters, and two winners. When in your mind and your heart and your blood there is the will to win, for sure, we want to try to win this trophy.

"The same way Manchester United want to do this. I repeat. I have great respect for United's story, for Mourinho's story. They have the same respect, I think, for Chelsea's story and my story."
