Jose Mourinho reportedly claims that Pep Guardiola is bald because he doesn't enjoy football

Jose Mourinho reportedly claims that Pep Guardiola is bald because he doesn't enjoy football

Sometimes a quote comes along that's so wonderful it doesn't matter if the person it's attributed to actually said it. This is one of those quotes.

According to El Confidential, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho recently said the following about his former Clasico rival Pep Guardiola:

"When you enjoy what you do, you don't lose your hair, and Guardiola is bald. He doesn't enjoy football."

That might be the most Jose Mourinho line ever, even if he didn't actually say it. But there is reason to believe that he did...besides hilarity.

The two longtime bitter enemies were both in attendance for the UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum last week and they reportedly bickered about grass length. Yes. GRASS LENGTH.

From the Express:

According to TZ, Guardiola argued that the rules would make the game faster and therefore more beautiful.

Mourinho is said to have responded: "Everyone has his style of play, which should be respected. Football can be spectacular in several ways."

Guardiola reportedly hit back: "The beauty of football depends on the coach. It seems to me that Mourinho prefers the result to the spectacle.

"I know to him that's all that matters."

So given that, Mourinho quipping about Guardiola's lack of hair and football grumpiness seems like an equally childish response.

If you weren't hoping for a Chelsea v Bayern Munich champions league final before, you should start doing so now.
