Mourinho has stuck the boot in, claiming the Israeli was destined to fail due to lack of a winning mentality.
“In my philosophy it was a very bad one because in football ‘almost’ means defeat,” he said.
“Chelsea almost won the Carling Cup, almost won the Champions League, and almost won the Premier League. Almost is nothing. “After two titles per season for the last three years there were zero titles this season.
“In my philosophy that means a really bad season.
“Maybe in the philosophy of a loser this was a great season, which I respect.”
