Mourinho and Guardiola's began in Spain when they were managing Real Madrid and FC Barcelona respectively, and there was a constant war of words between the pair.

Guardiola had recently been speaking about how he couldn't find a place in the team for Kalvin Phillips, who is expected to leave next month in search of regular game time.
Mourinho has now taken a dig at the Man City manager for how easy it is to get rid of players and make new signings.
"Look, not that I'm jealous, but Manchester City, for example, paid €80 million for Phillips," Mourinho said, as per beIN Sports.
"And now, in January, Pep said he will send him away and buy another [midfielder].
"We are in a different reality. I would like one, two, three or four players, and [Roma sporting director] Tiago Pinto and the owners would like them too.
"We all want to try to improve the team to be stronger for the second half of the season. But we have difficulties in trying to do that."
