Inter Milan boss Mourinho clashes with journalists

Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho is in more hot water - this time with the Italian media.

The Union of Journalists in Italy has threatened action against Mourinho after he allegedly pushed a reporter.

The former Chelsea manager is said to have pushed Andrea Ramazzotti away from the Inter Channel area near the team bus while using insulting language.

"The physical and verbal attack of Inter manager Jose Mourinho towards our colleague Andrea Ramazzotti marks one of the lowest and most alarming moments in the rapport between football and the media," said Ussi President Luigi Ferraiolo.

"We demand that the sporting justice system take action and, based on the law that considers clubs responsible for attacks on journalists, examine the behaviour of Mourinho for potential sanctions.

"This attack represents an irresponsible and unacceptable escalation. The Ussi not only expresses its indignation, but also strong concerns over this sort of behaviour that serves to increase tension and controversy."
