Jose hits out at Serie A coaches
Jose Mourinho has reacted angrily to suggestions Inter Milan are top of Serie A thanks to refereeing mistakes.
Inter were awarded a controversial penalty against Roma at the weekend which clinched a point in a 3-3 draw to the frustration of Giallorossi coach Luciano Spalletti.Juve boss Claudio Ranieri then said he sympathised with Spalletti, prompting Mourinho to retort: "I like intellectual honesty and it seems to me that there has been much manipulation of this recently.
"Lately, there has been no talk of Roma that have great players but will end the season empty handed. Nor has there been any talk of AC Milan, who are 12 points behind us and will end the season without any titles.
"Nor has there been any talk of Juve, who have collected many points due to refereeing mistakes.
"We have only won one game thanks to a refereeing mistake and that was against Siena."
Mourinho, whose side take on Sampdoria in the Coppa Italia semi-final tomorrow, added: "If Ranieri is on Spalletti´s side, I am on the side of (Catania coach) Walter Zenga, (Atalanta coach Luigi) Del Neri and (Fiorentina coach Cesare) Prandelli.
"All these coaches lost three points against Juve.
"Every time I switch the TV on, I see Spalletti, who is friends with everyone. I don´t know if they pay him to be interviewed.
"I know that I am offered money to do interviews and I turn it down because I don´t like prime time. I don´t manipulate reality."
