Mourinho continues war of words

Internazionale coach Jose Mourinho has hit back at Pietro Lo Monaco after the Catania administrator advised him to keep shut.

Mourinho 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.

In his post-match interview he said his side could have won 4-1 or 5-1 and that if he had played in goal nothing would have changed.
