Vigo mayor slams Man Utd boss Mourinho: I'll always take Berizzo

The mayor of Vigo has taken aim at Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

United meet Celta Vigo in Spain on Thursday night for the first-leg of their Europa League semifinal.

Mayor Abel Caballero admits he agrees with Celta president Carlos Mourino that he wouldn't like Mourinho at the club.

"I share that. It's a style I do not like. He is a great coach, I do not question him, but I do not like his football, but mainly because we know his ways outside of football. That form of Mourinho does not please me," said Caballero.

Asked about comparing Celta coach Eduardo Berizzo with Mourinho, he also told AS: "Of course with Berizzo. There is no possible comparison. Mourinho is a man who understands football in a special way, and I must say that I don't like him just that way.

"Mourinho poses football with a strategy on the field and another off the field. I understand that a part of football is off the field, but I do not like the way he focuses on it."
