Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has landed in a controversy with his remarks criticising the high salaries and transfer money paid by Portuguese football clubs FC Porto and Sporting Lisbon.”This season Porto pay 20 million euros for (midfielder Giannelli) Imbula, they give (goalkeeper Iker) Casillas an amazing salary. Sporting are paying millions for coaches and players. Football breaks every situation,” Efe quoted the Portuguese coach as saying on Monday.
Mourinho asked people to consider those amounts when looking at the social, political and economic problems plaguing his country, which is making severe budgetary cuts, struggling with pension payments and is facing a tax hike.
