Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini insist he has no intention of snubbing a handshake with old rival Jose Mourinho when Chelsea visit Eastlands on Sunday. Pellegrini and Chelsea boss Mourinho have a frosty relationship that dates back to when Mourinho succeeded Pellegrini as Real Madrid manager in 2010 and made unflattering comments about his predecessor.
They did not shake hands after their first meeting in England in October 2013, when Mourinho celebrated extravagantly after Chelsea snatched a late winner at Stamford Bridge, and they have traded barbs through the media on a regular basis. Mourinho was involved in another handshake incident recently when he and Arsene Wenger refused to acknowledge each other following the Gunners' Community Shield victory at Wembley.
