Posted Sunday, December 21, 2014 by Dailystar.co.uk

Jose Mourinho last night accused refs of having a vendetta against Diego Costa and claimed he's always snubbed for the Manager of the Month award!

The Chelsea boss, angry at accusations that his team are divers, says officials are targeting his star striker Costa.

The Spaniard has been booked SEVEN times this season and Mourinho blasted: "Diego Costa is having an amazing season in terms of discipline and he has seven yellow cards."

"He's being victimised? You have any doubts? Starting on day one when he was denied a penalty and given a yellow card at Burnley. He was booked for simulation – on day one."

"He has changed dramatically from the way he played in the past. I am frustrated, he is frustrated."

MOAN-RINHO: Jose Mourinho is unimpressed with how he and Diego Costa are treated

Mourinho spoke in the wake of Hull boss Steve Bruce claiming Gary Cahill 'dived like something from Swan Lake' during last Saturday's match.

Costa was booked for a similar offence in the same game. Mourinho, meanwhile, also savaged the Manager of the Month award judges for SNUBBING him.

He has furious that he's only won THREE awards during his TWO spells over FIVE years managing the London club.

His side has been top of the table for most of this season but Mourinho claims that those who decide on the award "don't like me" and that is why he is constantly snubbed.

"I don't care," he said. "But there is something that is not right because in four years in the Premier League, I've won the manager of the month three times."

"So, for sure, they don't like me. But I don't care. I just want my team to win."
