José Mourinho is in the news for the wrong reasons again.
Dejan Stefanovic, a lawyer and FifPro member from Slovenia,is of the opinion that Mourinho deserves a jail term for his treatment of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
Three years in prison is what he thinks Mourinho should get,
“It’s clear bullying. In Slovenia, we would have indicted Mourinho and asked for the highest penalty – three years in prison.This is clearly meant to discourage Bastian. Mourinho is setting a bad example. I would take it to the ordinary court. In our case, the penal code is quite clear. If there is bullying and harassment, there’s a prison sanction, a maximum of three years in prison.Schweinsteiger should turn to the Professional Footballers’ Association and he should file a complaint and I would also seek penalty for Mourinho.All the players of the first team have to train with the coaches of the first team at the same place, at the same time as all other team-mates. That’s something that should be applied to each and every club and should be written within Fifa regulations.”
United have not yet commented on Stefanovic’s remarks.
And poor old Mourinho has now got to watch out for the long arm of the (Slovenian) law.
Not a good portent for him.
Just when he’s trying to put all that hoo hah about Dr Eva Carneiro behind him and get on with life.
Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has also waded into the debate.
And he’s not on Mourinho’s side.
