Antonio Conte's former assistant admits the Italian's rivalry with Jose Mourinho has been 'blown out of proportion' despite 'not pleasant words' being thrown by the managers.
Mourinho was appointed as the new Roma manager on Tuesday and will take over the Giallorossi from the start of next season, with the aim of overthrowing Conte's Inter Milan from the top of Serie A after they were crowned champions last week.
Conte and Mourinho have clashed together before when the pair managed Chelsea and Manchester United respectively but Conte's ex-right-hand man Angelo Alessio revealed there was a misunderstanding between the pair at the time.
