Tense Mourinho jostles reporter after dismal draw

December 14th, 2009 - 10:17 pm ICT by IANS Tell a Friend -

Rome, Dec 14 (DPA) Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho jostled and insulted a reporter after the Serie A game in which his side drew 1-1 at Atalanta, the ANSA news agency reported.
Andrea Ramazzotti, a reporter with daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport, said that the Portuguese coach got off the Inter bus Sunday and grabbed him by the arms, telling him to leave a nearby area reserved for Inter Channel.

Ramazzotti said he had been authorized by both clubs to access the area.

Some stewards said they heard Mourinho insult Ramazzotti, telling him he was to move to the press room of the Bergamo stadium.

Mourinho had been suspended for the game and had to watch it from the stands, leaving post-game interviews to his assistant, Giuseppe Baresi.

His relationship with Italian media has soured in recent weeks. He has held very curt press conferences and declined to deal with some media outlets.
