​​Man Utd boss Mourinho still respected in Italy - Chiellini

Juventus captain Giorgio Chiellini believes that Jose Mourinho still commands a lot of respect in Italy.

While Mourinho may be undergoing a difficult spell in the Premier League, there are many in Italy who still remember the excellence of his Inter Milan side.

Mourinho won the treble with Inter in 2010. And Chiellini has not forgotten that fact.

"Surely it will be a fantastic atmosphere, this historic stadium," he told BT Sport. "Also a big coach who we loved in the past in Italy.

"Juventus fans know a lot about him, but in Italy we love Mourinho for his success."
