MORINHO WINS OFF-THE PITCH WAR IN ITALY

Catania sporting director Pietro Lo Monaco has been fined and suspended for comments made during his war of words with Inter boss Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho and Lo Monaco became embroiled in a spat after Inter squeezed past Catania 2-1 in Week 2.The Special One antagonised the Etnei by claiming the score could have been 5-0 and that he could have played in goal for Inter.
Lo Monaco hit back and stated that Mourinho “needed a smack in the mouth.”Although the Catania man apologised and stressed that he wasn’t trying to incite violence, the Italian Football Federation has taken action against him.
The Rossazzurri man will be banned from his role for 40 days and has received a fine of just under £12,000
