CARLO ANCELOTTI has taunted Jose Mourinho ahead of tomorrow’s Champions League game at San Siro by saying every neutral in Italy will be willing Chelsea to beat Internazionale because of the way the Portuguese coach conducts himself, reports Tom Kington in Rome.

Ancelotti and Mourinho had a strained relationship when they were in charge of Milan and Inter respectively, and the Italian’s remarks will raise the heat ahead of their meeting.

The Chelsea manager spoke out after Mourinho repeatedly mimicked being handcuffed when two Inter players were sent off during Saturday’s goalless draw at home to Sampdoria.
