for all of Conte's contempt for Mourinho, they're kindred spirits.
it started when Conte celebrated wildly in Mourinho's face at Stamford Bridge, but Mourinho did the same against Ferguson at Old Trafford.
both shot to prominence leading mediocre squads to overachieve, one with Porto, one with Italy.
Conte won his first major title at the age of 43, young for managers, while Mourinho did it even earlier at 40.
I hated Mourinho but respected his football; I hate Conte but respect his football.
and despite precedence, Conte is now taking a route hauntingly parallel to Mourinho's. he sacked his star striker for no good reason, and sent his Chelsea from champions to pedestrians.
