the Portuguese coach as "the type of person who leaves after causing a
car crash." Mourinho feels Palomar has crossed the line with his
choice of words, and has subsequently decided to take legal action
against the Spanish newspaper.
"This expression is objectively vexatious and the use of it was
completely unnecessary to achieve the objective of the article," a
statement from Mourinho's legal representatives reads.
"Mourinho is fully aware of the importance of the right of freedom of
expression, and has not and will never take legal action against
rightful criticism." The 49-year-old previously sued El Pais
journalist Charles Bouvier for calling him a "Nazi Portuguese".
