Mourinho: 'If Prestianni is guilty, I won't look at him the same way again'

The 'Prestianni case' takes a new turn following declarations from Jose Mourinho. While he initially staunchly defended Argentine footballer Gianluca Prestianni, the Portuguese's shift in tone suggests that Vinicius's accusations of racism might be true.

"I don't want to wear the white shirt of Real Madrid or the red of Benfica. If Prestianni is guilty, I won't look at him the same way again, and he's finished with me," Mourinho declared in the pre-match press conference ahead of the encounter against Gil Vicente.

Mourinho issued a stern warning to Gianluca Prestianni: "If my player did not respect these principles, which are mine and Benfica's, his career with a coach called Mourinho and at a club like Benfica comes to an end."

"The presumption of innocence is a right, but I have to preface it with many 'ifs'".
