Jose Mourinho asked about rivalry with Man City's Pep Guardiola

Jose Mourinho locks horns with Pep Guardiola on Sunday when Tottenham host Manchester City in the Premier League.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has opened up on his rivalry with Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola ahead of their Premier League showdown on Sunday.

The two experienced bosses lock horns once again this weekend, following on from their spells in charge of Barcelona and Real Madrid as well as their time on the opposite sides of Manchester.

Now, with Mourinho at a new club, the pair are due to face off once again and that has reignited memories of the famous clashes between the two giants of the managerial game in the past.

However, speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, Mourinho insisted his main memories with Guardiola came during the pair's time at Barcelona.

"With him nothing. With him I remember more the three years we fought on the same side, working together at the same club. The space of the work every day for three years. I remember more that than what people can speak about rivalry," he said.

"Then of course Barcelona and Real Madrid, Inter and Barcelona in the Champions League, City and United, now Tottenham and City. Again no Jose and Pep. Clubs, teams and that's just one more.

"A new chapter for us because it's the first time Tottenham against Manchester City with us. Never Jose and Josep, like he is in Catalan. For me, it's a game I want to win because I want my team to win and we need points. No more than that."
