Jose Mourinho has taken a veiled swipe at former rival Pep Guardiola after Chelsea won the Premier League title.

The Portuguese guided the Blues to victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday which enabled them to lift the trophy at Stamford Bridge in front of their loyal supporters.

In the aftermath of the triumph, Mourinho had an indirect dig at Guardiola who now finds himself at German giants Bayern Munich after a successful spell with Spanish powerhouse Barcelona.

"Maybe in the future I have to be smarter and choose another country, another club, where everybody's champions," said Mourinho.

"Even the kit man coaching is champion in some countries.

"I still enjoy these difficulties. I still enjoy to be tired after a very difficult match. So I think I am in the right place."

Chelsea are 13 points clear of second-placed Manchester City with three matches remaining in the 2014/15 season.
