Lo Monaco hits back at Jose
Tuesday 16 September, 2008
Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco has launched another stinging attack on Inter's Jose Mourinho.
A war of words has been developing since Inter beat Catania 2-1 last Saturday and Mourinho claimed the result should have been 5-1.
Catania director Lo Monaco hit out at the Special One's statement and the Portuguese Coach responded by accusing the Etnei man of trying to get his name in the papers.
“I don't think Italian football would lose anything without Mourinho,” Lo Monaco raged.
“First of all, I certainly don't care about newspaper headlines. I have never tried to seek publicity.
“I am just focused on trying to do the best I can with the modest funds our President can make available, which are certainly dwarfed by Mourinho's side.
“Secondly it is disgraceful that Mourinho makes money through publicity and threw this in my face, along with the people of Catania and all the other smaller clubs, with his disgusting air of superiority and contempt.
“Lastly, I am called Lo Monaco and not just Monaco and I'm sure Mourinho remembered that clearly enough an hour later.”
However, Lo Monaco did apologise for his comment that: “Jose needs a smack in the mouth.”
“My comment wasn't meant to instigate violence,” he insisted. “I will apologise for that if some people interpreted it differently.
“I think that over the years Catania have demonstrated a strong objection to every form of violence and my words were just the result of miscommunication.
“Inter have the strongest squad in Europe, but sadly they also have the biggest blabbermouth of a Coach.”
