MADRID:
Spain coach Vicente del Bosque has dismissed as ‘childish’ Jose Mourinho’s claims that there were irregularities in Fifa’s World Coach of the Year vote. Del Bosque beat Mourinho to the prize for 2012. However, Mourinho said he had been informed that some of those who had voted for him, had their votes changed. “It doesn’t bother me at all,” said del Bosque. “We are 48 hours from an important game against Finland and I am not worried about anything other than this. It is a subject that I have to keep my distance from. It is a childish thing. I don’t want to even give the hint of a smile in case it is misinterpreted.”
