Former Italy coach and AC
Milan chief Cesare Maldini says Inter boss
Jose Mourinho is just courting
publicity over his blazing row with Marcello Lippi.
“The old ‘who will win the title’ question is a classic fixture
of pre-season interviews,” explained Maldini, who was in charge for
the 1998 World Cup.
“Lippi, even if he is the Coach of the Italy squad, has every
right to freely express his opinion. The real issue here is that
Mourinho just wants attention.
“He always has to be at the centre of the spotlight’s glare and
be the focus of the media, so he created this controversy out of
nothing.”
