Inter defeated Catania 2-1 at San Siro on Saturday evening in a hugely controversial game that the ten-man Nerazzurri only won thanks to a goal that appeared to have not crossed the line.
Mourinho’s quotes both before and after the match have upset and angered Catania, who believe that the tactician is showing a lack of respect to his adversaries.
Prior to the game, Mourinho stated: "We want to win, we have to win and I think we will win because we're better, both as a team and on an individual level.”
After the 2-1 win, the Portuguese then commented: “Catania played their game, but the right result should have been 3-1, 4-1, or 5-1.”
In a quite explosive response, Catania director Pietro Lo Monaco has launched an incredible attack on Mourinho.
“Someone who says these kind of things does not have respect for his adversaries,” roared Lo Monaco.
“He doesn’t respect the host nation [Italy], or the coaches. He could have avoided what he said and answering back was too easy.
"He should think about his own problems. If he does not win this year, he should pack his suitcase and go back to his own country.
“Mourinho is simply someone who should be smacked in the mouth."
It remains to be seen what response these explosive statements provoke from Inter, but one thing is clear and that is that Mourinho’s popularity in Italy is decreasing by the day.
