Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent has launched an
astonishing broadside at Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho, claiming
he has done "more harm than good" at the San
Siro.
Mourinho took over Inter in the summer after Roberto Mancini was
sacked despite leading the Nerazzurri to three successive Serie A
titles.
Under the former Chelsea coach Inter are seven points clear at
the top of the table and in the last 16 of the Champions
League.
However, Mourinho has caused no end of controversy since his
arrival in Italy and agent Mino Raiola does not believe the
Portuguese coach will last long at the club.
"I'm certain that Mourinho is doing everything to go to Real
Madrid," Raiola told Milan daily Il Giorno. "But he has to think
about not repeating the disastrous buys he has made.
"He made (Inter president Massimo) Moratti throw away 45 million
and he's winning with Mancini's squad. "What more has he given to
the team? He has only destroyed someone like Maxwell who I still
believe is among the best defenders in Europe. "If he had left Ibra
out he would have already been sacked as happened at Chelsea.
"Mourinho has to change his attitude, he's doing more harm than
good. And he only has Zlatan to thank for the fact they're where
they're at." Ibrahimovic is enjoying another excellent season in
Serie A, where he has scored over 15 goals this campaign.
Raiola claims Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in the
27-year-old, and insists that if the Sweden international decides
to leave the San Siro there would be nothing the club could do.
"Real Madrid and Barcelona are ready to do everything to get
him," he added. "In the Spanish league Ibra would score 40 goals a
season and would certainly have more of a chance of winning the
Ballon d'Or.
"I want something to be clear: if Zlatan decides to leave, it's
certain he will leave. "In all his transfers, from Ajax to Juve and
Juve to Inter, it was always the player who enforced his own
desire. "That's not a warning, I only say that it's not up to
others to decide for him."
