Mourinho denies tensions with Real bosses

REAL Madrid coach Jose Mourinho boasted of "very, very, very good" relations with club bosses yesterday, after the team's latest 0-1 away loss to Real Betis.

Some Spanish media had speculated about tensions between Mourinho and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez as the club trails 11 points behind league leader Barcelona.

"I have very, very, very good relations with the president," as well as managing director Jose Angel Sanchez and other club members, the Portuguese coach told a news conference. "Relations could not be better."

Some Spanish newspapers said Mourinho wanted Real to show greater support for his complaints about refereeing and the fixtures calendar, which he judged unfair to the team.

But the coach said he was not calling on the club to say anything. "The club is sovereign. It is up to the club to decide if it is happy with this line," Mourinho said.
