Mourinho war of words continues

Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has hit back at Pietro Lo Monaco after the Catania administrator advised him to keep his mouth shut.

Mourinho, now in charge at Inter Milan, claimed after his team's 2-1 triumph over Catania at the weekend - his second Serie A clash at the helm - that he could have played in goal and Inter would still have won.

Lo Monaco responded by saying the Portuguese showed a "lack of respect", was a "chatterbox" and should keep his comments to himself.

Mourinho has retaliated, saying: "Monaco? I know Bayern Monaco (Munich), Monaco of Monte Carlo, the GP of Monaco...I don't know of any other.

"Lo Monaco has used my name to gain publicity. But I have sponsors who pay me to do publicity. Hence, if he wants, he should also pay me."

The argument started last week when Mourinho stated in a press conference that Inter would need to be "ordinary" to beat Catania.
