    Cruyff criticises Mourinho behaviourpublished at 18:15

    Football

    Johan Cruyff believes Jose Mourinho is setting a bad example to young people with his behaviour.

    "I don't think he is educating children to play football or educating for life. He should behave better because he will be in the press all over the world."
