Mourinho shadow hangs over Mancini

Roberto Mancini is being driven out of Milan by the
shadow of his successor as Inter Milan coach, Jose Mourinho, his
lawyers said.
"He is forced to suffer the direct comparison with the new
management," Mancini's lawyers were quoted as saying on daily Il
Giornale's website. "This unsustainable
situation has created the urgent need for Mr Mancini to move
from Milan to a destination yet to be established."
Mancini is suing Il Giornale for damages for publishing
wiretaps from a drugs probe involving a person known to Mancini,
even though there was never any suggestion the former Lazio and
Sampdoria striker had done anything wrong.
