Jose Mourinho appears to bury the hatchet with former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger

Jose Mourinho appears to have spectacularly buried the hatchet with Arsene Wenger after lauding his one-time rival as 'one of the best football managers in history.'

Mourinho once called the former Arsenal boss a 'specialist in failure' and a 'voyeur' but now insists there was 'real respect' between the two of them.

Wenger was receiving the Lifetime Achievement accolade at the Laureus World Sports Awards and Mourinho surprisingly added his voice to the video tributes.
