In football anything can happen, but I cannot accept being taken for a ride,” he told the Corriere dello Sport.
“Mourinho always sends someone to listen to what others say, then report back so he always arrives prepared for the interviews.
“Rather than say certain things, he’d have done better to stay silent. At the end of the game I didn’t want to say anything, but when I heard he was accusing me of ‘crying’ and even that the referee was too fussy with the number of fouls, I couldn’t help but give my position.
“When it’s too much, it really is too much.”
Ranieri was fired by Juventus last season with the team in third place, but he dragged the Italian media into the row too.
“If Mourinho had done my same work at Juventus in the two years I spent there, the media would’ve praised him. Instead, I got fired. If he is like that, it is also to a degree your fault.”
