Chelsea boss Antonio Conte: I don't care what Jose Mourinho says - I won't curb my passion

ANTONIO CONTE is ready to risk the wrath of Jose Mourinho by refusing to tone down his touchline antics.

Mourinho accused the Italian of rubbing it in when he celebrated wildly at the end of Manchester United’s 4-0 thrashing by Chelsea in October.

But Conte says he has always liked to show his passion throughout his career and will not be changing his ways for anyone.

The Blues boss, whose side face United at Stamford Bridge on Monday for a place in the FA Cup semi-finals, said: “It’s normal. It’s not important. Nothing we have to clarify with him.

“I think I’ve shown in my period at Chelsea, but not only here – always, in every team I’ve managed – that I live the game with great passion.
