Madrid's Mourinho sues Spanish daily over critique

MADRID (AP) -Spanish newspaper Marca says Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has taken legal action against one of its journalists over an article published this week.

Marca published an extract Thursday from a letter it received from Mourinho's law firm stating that journalist Roberto Palomar "referred to our client as `the type of person who would flee after knocking someone down."'

The letter adds that "this is degrading and was used in a manner which was completely unnecessary in the critique."

Mourinho's relationship with the Spanish media has always been tetchy since his arrival in 2010, but has heightened during a current run of poor results.

Mourinho is demanding ?15,000 ($19,600) in damages, which his firm says the coach would donate to his son's local football team.
