Jose Mourinho says 'Serie A has never been so open' and defends Juventus: 'They'll come back, it's only a matter of time'.
The 52-year-old's former Italian team, Inter, were leading the standings until a short while ago before being crushed by Fiorentina 4-1 and drawing 1-1 against Sampdoria.
'If I were an Inter supporter I wouldn't be so disappointed,” the Special One told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The 52-year-old's former Italian team, Inter, were leading the standings until a short while ago before being crushed by Fiorentina 4-1 and drawing 1-1 against Sampdoria.
'If I were an Inter supporter I wouldn't be so disappointed,” the Special One told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Compared to the last few years, Inter are now doing very well. They started off strong to compete for the Scudetto.
“Inter to win the Scudetto? Right now that's unanswerable, but they are in the group of competitors.
“Serie has never been open to as many teams as it is now.
“Juve started out a bit like Chelsea, suffering, but just like Chelsea they'll come back.
“It's only a matter of time. Roma and Napoli can take advantage of a season in which the Bianconeri are not the super-favourites.”
Finally, the Chelsea Coach discussed Fabio Capello's statements that he 'burned out' his players.
“I read what Capello said on the Gazzetta and beyond.
“I think that a Coach with his history would have done better to talk of football, without making comments on the work of his colleagues.
“Otherwise I could have gone and made comments on his work when he was coaching the English or Russian national team, but I never did.
“That's because I prefer showing respect for the negative moments of my colleagues.
“I'd much rather discuss what Fabio Capello did in the many beautiful moments of his career, which is full of extraordinary triumphs.”
