Antonio Conte has slammed "little man" Jose Mourinho for digging up old match-fixing charges against the Chelsea manager in recent press statements.
The pair have maintained a frosty relationship since Conte arrived in the Premier League, with frequent clashes when the Blues have faced Manchester United.
But Mourinho upped the ante in their war of words by referencing a four-month ban Conte served in the 2012-13 season while he was manager of Juventus for failing to report match-fixing while he was in charge of Siena.
"What never happened to me and will never happen is to be suspended for match-fixing," he told reporters on Friday - words that brought furious reaction from his rival.
