Mourinho: 'Italy lacks innovation'


Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho has criticised Italy's Serie A, saying there was too much emphasis on results and less flexibility for coaches to 'innovate' and develop tactics.

The self-appointed 'Special One', compared working in Italy to working in the English Premier League, where he used to manage Chelsea, saying in England coaches were given a greater amount of time to 'develop their work'.

In an interview with Portuguese weekly paper Expresso, Mourinho again hinted he was not totally happy in Italy.

"When after a third of the Italian championship nine coaches have lost their jobs, who is the coach that wants to innovate?", he remarked.

"The Serie A coach does not want to innovate, he wants to survive."
