The mayor of Reggio Calabria has apologised to Jose Mourinho after the Inter Milan coach was heckled after his side's 3-2 win at Reggina for giving a crucifix to a disabled fan.

"The mayor (Giuseppe Scopelliti) accused me of wanting to give money to the disabled kid. Actually I gave him a crucifix that my wife had given to me as a present and which I've kept in my pocket for three or four years," Mourinho told reporters. "Even when I do a nice gesture I get criticised."
