Inter Milan boss Mourinho stunner: I will never be an ****-licker!

Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has delivered an amazing interview to close out 2009. Mourinho didn't hold back, admitting he is "at war" with the Italian media.

He roared: "From the day I left Chelsea I said that I would go back to England and that has not changed. A few days ago I said I'd remain at Inter until 2012, which is the end of my contract, but the truth is people only like to highlight certain statements.

"It's true that I will return to England one day, I am sure of it, but I don't know if it'll be 2012 or 2020. I am happy in Milan.

"I'd never criticise Italy as a country or its people, but I was referring to the rapport with the Italian journalists that is not positive. In fact, I'd call it a 'war.'

"In my view the situation is your fault, while you think it's down to me. The fact remains it is a war I cannot win because you are many and I am on my own.

"I can lose a war, but never my personality, my independence or my freedom of thought. I will never be an ****-licker. I'll always stay independent and say what I think, even if many don't like it."
