Chelsea boss Mourinho will not cave into Canal+ demands

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is determined to keep up his rift with French TV Canal+.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea's Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain is going to re-ignite Mourinho's feud with French TV network Canal+, host broadcasters for the first leg.

UEFA regulations require managers to do interviews before and after the game or face a fine. However, Mourinho has not talked to Canal+ since they recorded his disparaging comments about striker Samuel Eto'o in what the Chelsea boss believed was a private conversation.

UEFA intend to encourage Mourinho to fulfil all media obligations in connection with the tie in Paris next week but are aware of his problems with the station and are understood to have sympathy with him over the breakdown in trust.
