Eden Hazard has taken a thinly veiled swipe at former boss Jose Mourinho after his two year stint with the manager at Chelsea.
The current manager at Manchester United is one of the greatest managers to have coached Chelsea and is high on their legendary ranking but Hazard is not the most impressed by the Portuguese’s systems.
Midway through the disastrous 2015/2016 campaign at Chelsea, Mourinho was sacked and permanently replaced by Antonio Conte in the summer of 2016.
The Italian took England by storm, returning the Premier League title to Stamford Bridge, two seasons after they won it with Mourinho.
When asked if he benefited from the former Juventus tactician’s methods, Hazard revealed, he was improved barely a week after Conte began work at Chelsea.
‘You have to. Even after a week I think I had progressed with him. But I think he’s shown not just at Chelsea but also at Juventus that he’s a good coach and I think he has some good years ahead of him.
There’s a lot of tactics. It’s not always nice as a forward as you have to run, defend and everything, but at least at the weekend, you know exactly what to do, you can even close your eyes and play. That’s good.
