Hitzfeld hits out at ‘arrogant and boorish’ Mourinho

LEGENDARY coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, pictured, has labelled Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho “arrogant”, “haughty” and “boorish” while calling his negative tactics “really shameful”.

The Switzerland boss, who, like Mourinho, is one of only three managers to win the European Cup with two different clubs, has hit out at the Portuguese ahead of tonight’s eagerly-awaited semi-final second leg in Barcelona.

“Luckily, Mourinho’s destructive tactics, aimed solely at provoking and destroying the opponents’ gameplan, did not work (in the first leg),” he said.
