Jose Mourinho has revealed that one of Maurizio Sarri’s assistants has apologised to him.
There was chaos at the end of today’s game as Chelsea scored a 96th minute equaliser to steal a point from Mourinho’s Manchester United.
The Red Devils boss was slumped in his seat, but sprang off it when he saw Marco Ianni, one of Sarri’s assistant coaches, fist pumping right in front of him.
Mourinho on Marco Ianni celebration: "Not celebrations, bad education. But I also made mistakes in football matches and I will make more. When he came to me to apologise, I accept his apologise. Maurizio saw and said he would take care of it internally." #CFC #CHEMUN #MUFC

It lead to a right to do on the touchline, and when doing his media duties after the game, Jose Mourinho revealed that he’d discussed the matter with the coach and with his opposite number Sarri.
It was over the top, and Mourinho had every right to react angrily to it. It’s good to see he’s going to let it go, he himself cited some of his less glorious incidents in the past – some of them as Chelsea manager on that very same touchline.
