JAKARTA - AS Roma coach, Jose Mourinho, is involved in friction with former club player, Antonio Cassano. The two exchanged scathing comments.

Jose Mourinho has hit back at Cassano's criticism that he plays too much drama and doesn't give anything in football. Cassano's criticism followed the Portuguese coach's return to being linked with his former club Real Madrid.

"Everyone is free to have an opinion and to criticize, but when it comes to other people like Antonio did it is different," said Mourinho.

"Some of us work in football, he just wants to enjoy football the way he wants. Cassano played for Roma, Inter and Real Madrid. In Madrid people only remember him wearing the jacket of the substitutes."

"With Roma he won the Supercopa without playing in the match. At Inter he didn't even take part in the Lombardy Cup friendly," said the coach nicknamed The Special One.

Mourinho then compared his achievements as a coach dealing with Real Madrid, AS Roma and Inter Milan.

"You know what I won with Inter, Real Madrid and Rome. Maybe he has a problem with me, but I don't feel there is a problem with him," Mourinho told the Daily Mail quoted via Antara.

Jose Mourinho managed to become the first coach to win three major European tournaments such as the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

With Inter, Mourinho won his second treble title in his career after bringing Il Nerazzurri to win Serie A, Copa Italia and Champions League in the 2009-2010 season.

During his career with Los Blancos, Mourinho managed to win one LaLiga title and one Copa Del Rey title in his three seasons as coach.

Last season, Mourinho led AS Roma to their first European trophy after winning over Feyenoord in the Conference League.

The coach who is currently coaching AS Roma is included in the candidate as a replacement for Carlo Ancelotti whose contract will expire at the end of this season. Ancelotti himself reportedly ogled the Brazilian national team and Chelsea.
