From foes to friends: Jose Mourinho and Claudio Ranieri buried hatchet after years of hostility, and now face each other again as struggling Chelsea visit in-form Leicester

-
By Jose Mourinho’s mathematics, Claudio Ranieri should be almost 80 years old.
The Chelsea manager aimed a stinging barb at his counterpart when their hostilities were at their height in 2008, branding him ‘almost 70’ and ‘too old to change his mentality’ when they were at rival Serie A clubs. Ranieri, then in charge of Juventus, was 56. He only turned 64 in October.
They are a combustion of styles and personalities and it has made for a lively relationship. Mourinho forever the outspoken antagonist with self-confidence brimming into arrogance. Ranieri older, more mature and with touch of class and self-awareness.
