The chief coach of London, Portuguese Jose Mourinho, once again apologized to the head coach of the London team, Arsene Wenger, and said that he regrets calling him a "voyeur".
In October of this year, responding to comments from the Arsenal coach about Chelsea's declining form, J.Mourinho stated that A.Wenger "cares too much about other people's business" and added that "he is a person who likes to secretly spy on others, as you English say - a voyeur."
After these statements, A.Wenger threatened legal action and called J.Mourinho "foolish", and this confrontation resurfaced last weekend when after Chelsea's 2-0 victory against Arsenal at "Highbury" stadium, J.Mourinho refused to shake A.Wenger's hand.
It is said that J.Mourinho acted this way because A.Wenger did not respond to the personal apology made by the Portuguese in a Christmas card.
In an interview with the English men's magazine "FHM", J.Mourinho said that he regrets the words he said in October.
"Certainly. I didn't want to offend him like that," said the arrogant Portuguese. "If I could go back in time, I would say 'Hey, it's time to stop talking about Chelsea, go to your corner and talk about your team.' But I wouldn't say what offended him. I didn't want that. If I could turn back time and change everything, I would."
A.Wenger, commenting on the incident, stated that he did not push the Portuguese away after the match and added that he is pleased to be able to smooth out this conflict.
"I appreciate the apology in the card," quoted "The Sun." "It was an apology, but I didn't have any hard feelings or anger anyway. If I had already said that the conflict was over, then it was over."
