Mourinho considers legal action over reported criticism of England coach

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has denied criticising England manager Fabio Capello in a newspaper interview. The former Chelsea coach was quoted in an English newspaper on Wednesday as saying the Italian has a "one-track relationship with players" and that the England players are "frightened" of their national boss.

However, the Portuguese is now insisting the interview was "absolutely false".

International soccer agency Gestifute, who represent the former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss, issued a statement which read: "Jose Mourinho hasn't produced any statement to this newspaper, and denies categorically every word published.

"We hereby inform that Jose Mourinho will use all legal means against the newspaper and its author."
