Changing Room Chat: The special one is public enemy No 1

JOSE Mourinho is unlikely to get a warm welcome the next time he ventures to Malaga. After taking a swipe at Manuel Pellegrini, his predecessor at Real Madrid and now coach of Malaga, by claiming if he was sacked he would end up at a big club rather than the Andalucian outfit, Jose has now come under fire from the city's mayor.

Mayor Francisco de la Torre said: "He (Mourinho] wanted to affect Pellegrini, hurt his feelings as a coach and also indirectly the Malaga players, but it seems to me an error of judgment."
