Jose Mourinho denies rift with Real Madrid director after Cristiano Ronaldo inspires 8-0 Copa del Rey win


Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho, fresh from an 8-0 Copa del Rey win over Levante in which Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema scored hat-tricks, has denied a breakdown in his relationship with director Jorge Valdano amid claims of tension between them.


Mourinho complained at the weekend that the club were not doing enough to support his criticism of referees he believed favoured opposing sides and Spanish media later said he and Valdano were at loggerheads over the issue.

“I can deny that the personal relationship is bad,” said Mourinho, who insists he intends to see out the four years of his contract with the La Liga giants.

“I have no personal problems with anyone. That’s the most important thing.”

Valdano for his part said the media reaction to Mourinho’s comments about referees had been exaggerated and it was “a small thing”.

“We all have a certain type of personality and you have to accept that,” the Argentine added.
