Pic: Jose Mourinho should probably lay off the fat jokes

It didn't have to be like this, Jose.

Jose Mourinho and Rafa Benitez have never been pals, and their feud sparked up again this week. The two have spent over a decade beefing, starting in 2004 upon joining Chelsea and Liverpool respectively, and their career paths have been closely linked ever since. Benitez took charge at Inter Milan in 2010, when Mourinho left for Madrid, took over at Chelsea in 2012, five years after Mourinho left the club, and is now Madrid manager, two years after Jose's departure. Earlier this week, the wife of the new Real Madrid manager said that her husband has spent a significant proportion of his career cleaning up Mourinho's mess. How did Jose respond to this gentle jibe?

'I think the lady needs to occupy her time and if she takes care of her husband's diet she will have less time to speak about me.'

Burn. However, a picture has been posted on social media, of Chelsea on their pre-season tour in the United States, that suggests Jose should probably refrain from the fat jokes.

How about those apples, Jose? Jose? Jose? We know what you're thinking... you can't wait for the new season to start so you won't have to hear about football managers talking about each other's physical appearance. Amen.
