Jose Mourinho: 'Arsene Wenger specialises in failure'

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho responds to Arsene Wenger's claims that he fears failure by insisting that the Arsenal boss is a "specialist" at missing out on silverware.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he would have resigned from his position if he had not won a trophy in eight years.

Mourinho was responding to Wenger's claim that he was scared of failure at Stamford Bridge, and the Portuguese coach has hit back by insisting that the Gunners boss is a "specialist" at not winning silverware.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "If supposedly he is right and I am afraid of failure, it is because I don't fail many times.

"He is a specialist because eight years without silverware is very long. If I do that with Chelsea, I leave and I don't come back."

Chelsea currently lead Arsenal by one point in the Premier League table.
