'Really classy to act like that' - Lille boss slams Mourinho taking his helpers

  /  autty

Lille manager Christophe Gaultier has lashed out at new Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho for poaching two members of his coaching staff.

Mourinho has appointed Joao Sacramento as his No 2 at Spurs, with goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos following him to London.

'Everyone has their own way of doing things,' Gaultier said on Thursday, before adopting an ironic tone. 'But it's really classy. Really classy to act like that.'

Gaultier added that he doesn't think Luis Campos will head to Tottenham, despite being linked with a move to White Hart Lane.

'Luis is 200 per cent invested in the project (at Lille) and I don't see a 1000th of a wish to look elsewhere,' Gaultier said. 'We're close and looking forward.'

The 44-year-old Sacaramento is a highly rated coach who is expected to one day to became a manager in his own right.

Santos, meanwhile, played for 14 clubs in his career and will get to work with Paolo Gazzaniga and Hugo Lloris, who is returning from an elbow injury.
