Rafael Benitez has labelled Marco Materazzi “a liar” after the former Italy defender claimed Chelsea’s interim manager had pictures of Jose Mourinho removed from a wall at Inter Milan’s training base.
Benitez, who succeeded former Blues boss Mourinho at Inter, had a fractious relationship with Materazzi while in charge of the Serie A club.
And Materazzi, who had a spell with Everton, has been quoted as saying: “At Inter’s training centre, there were photos on the wall of all the most successful past coaches, from Herrera to Mancini and Mourinho.
“Benitez had the ones of Jose taken down. With that gesture, he showed his character: that of a weak person.”
But a furious Benitez countered: “He’s lying. Just lying. Simple. Everything when he talks about me is a lie. He’s a liar.”
