Lo Monaco: Jose is a failure
Tuesday 17 March, 2009

Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco has reignited his feud with Jose Mourinho by labelling Inter's season so far “a failure.”

The two men exchanged angry words after their first meeting of the season when Mourinho claimed the Nerazzurri could have won 5-1 instead of 2-1.

Lo Monaco was disciplined for saying that Mourinho “needed a slap in the face” and it seems that the Etnei man still isn't the Special One's biggest fan.

“If they were betting on winning the Champions League then I would consider it a lost bet,” Lo Monaco jeered to ItaSportPress.

“In any case it will be a disappointment for Inter just to win the Scudetto again, which they had already done with Roberto Mancini at the helm.

“Having spent £50m on certain players and £40m to pay Mourinho and Mancini, they would've wanted to win something more than the title.”

Catania drew 1-1 with Udinese last weekend and are edging towards securing Serie A survival.

“We picked up a useful point against Udinese and that allowed us to get closer to the 40-point mark.

“Only when we are mathematically certain of staying in Serie A will we have reached our objective.”
