Mourinho refuses to discuss his relationship with Tottenham counterpart AVB

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho refused to discuss his relationship with Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas following the latter saying he had no regrets about the breakdown of his friendship with his former mentor who he worked with for seven years. "I don't discuss this with the media. It's a personal thing. I don't care what he says. I'm not here to do that. I'm not interested.

"I managed a Champions League final against a manager who was important in my career and taught me to grow up and I did it in a professional way. And that is a way you have to do it.

"I have had so many assistants in my career. I was always an open book to them and with the coaches in the academy. Will I go for a glass of wine with him? When people invite me I always go. I never refuse.

"But I have nothing more to say on this."
