Jose Mourinho believes Chelsea may be regretting sacking him after his Inter Milan team knocked the Blues out of the Champions League.
He may have a point as his old club, despite their ambition and money, have failed to win a trophy since his departure in 2007 following two back-to-back Premier League titles.
Mourinho on the other hand has gone from strength to strength with one Serie A title in the bag and likelihood of another to come this season.
His celebration on the night after the 1-0 victory were dignified at least to the players and club who had given him a chance to make his mark in English football.
He said: "When I look at the big four teams while I was in England, they're all there. Sir Alex is there. Wenger is there. Benitez is there.I did more than enough to be here.
But the decision was made - Chelsea looked forward, so I look forward. They move on, so I move on.
I keep winning important things - They keep winning something.
"They won an FA Cup.
"The most important thing is the relationship we have. No regrets, no big problems. Just respect. "
"In football, coming back to an old team, an ex club, it's important to feel like I feel.
"It's one of the most beautiful things in football. They move on, I move on, and life is going on."
