Jose Mourinho admitted yesterday he regrets some of his behaviour towards Arsene Wenger during their English Premier League rivalry ahead of the Frenchman's last visit to Old Trafford as Arsenal boss.
The two managers have enjoyed a spiky relationship since the Portuguese arrived as manager of Chelsea in 2004 and deposed Arsenal's Invincibles as champions.
Mourinho called Wenger a "voyeur" and a "specialist in failure" while, in the early days of their feud, in 2005, Wenger responded by calling Mourinho "stupid" and "disconnected with reality".
As recently as October 2014, the two managers were involved in an ugly touchline row that saw them almost come to blows in a game between Arsenal and Chelsea.
"Regrets? Little negative episodes, yes I do, and probably he also does," Mourinho said. "There are little things where it would obviously have been better without them, some gestures, some words would be better without it. I feel better now without it, no doubt about it.
