Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has laughed off Arsene Wenger failing to mention him in the Frenchman's new book.

Mourinho says he "understands perfectly" why his name does not appear in Wenger's new book and that is because he often won when their teams met.

"It's because he never beat me," smiled Tottenham boss Mourinho, when asked why he didn't feature in Wenger's autobiography 'My Life in Red and White'.

"You are not going to do a chapter about 12 or 14 matches when you never win one. Why should he speak about me in his book?

"A book is a thing to make you happy and make you proud so I understand perfectly the situation."

Wenger left Arsenal in 2018 and is now employed by FIFA and has just released his first book.
