Mourinho has some explaining to do Print E-mail
Saturday, 27 September 2008

Just a few months into Jose Mourinho's tenure with Inter Milan, the Italian media is already deciding he is not so special after all.

The self-appointed Special One refused to turn up for a press conference following his team's 1-0 home victory over Lecce on Wednesday, prompting fury from the press corps.

Mourinho made a habit of skipping questions after matches during his time with Chelsea, often sending assistant Steve Clarke in his place. However, the same trick plunged him into a storm of controversy in Serie A, where the public and media demand head coaches explain their tactical decisions after every match.

Mourinho would be well-served to think long and hard about his decision, as the Italian press is incredibly powerful when it comes to top-flight soccer. While he has always done things in his own inimitable way, it would do no good whatsoever to make such a strong enemy at this stage.

He needs to step up, face any flak coming his way and get on with the job of being one of the best managers in the business.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"Obviously we are a little bit behind the 8-ball. Likely we need to win three games if we are going to have a chance. I feel confident we are going to make a great effort to get there."

Los Angeles Galaxy coach Bruce Arena on his team's playoff chances after its 3-1 loss to the Chicago Fire on Thursday.
