Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has snapped back at Fabio Capello.

Capello claimed this week that Mourinho "burns out his players".

But discussing Capello's interview, Mourinho said: “I read what Capello said to La Gazzetta.

"I think that a coach with his experience would have been better served to talk about football without mentioning the work of a colleague.

“Maybe I should have commented on his work with the English national team or Russia, but I've never done that. I prefer to show respect for my colleagues.

“I'd rather talk about Capello and his great career that has been full of success."
