Inter Milan coach Luciano Spalletti is unhappy over comparisons with Jose Mourinho.

Spalletti has led Inter to the top of the table.

“This juxtaposition with Mourinho embarrasses me," Spalletti said.

“You have to stop it, it forces me to emphasise the distance between me, who has been here for two days, and someone who made history with Inter.

“I can't come close, so do me a favour: don't put me close to him. Mourinho knows too that it doesn't stack up.

“I'll defend the wok of the squad though. When you see it from outside that's one thing, but when you're on the inside and see it every day you realise the work the players are doing.

“I had some certainties against Juventus, because we were compact and solid. We have a unique soul but we didn't play a perfect game, so there are some things we can improve."
