Rome, Sep 21 (DPA) Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho will watch his Italian champions from the stands Wednesday when they welcome Napoli in a midweek round of the Serie A.

The Portuguese coach is to receive a one-game suspension after he was sent off in Cagliari on Sunday for bickering with the referee over the flooring of one of his players.

His men managed a 2-1 rally against the lowly hosts through a brace from Diego Milito, which kept the champions within two points of leaders Juventus and Sampdoria but evidenced some tactical and physical flaws.

As Inter keep looking for the best form, Mourinho has showed to be more brooding and allergic to criticism than usual and reacted sharply to his colleague Alberto Zaccheroni, who disliked Inter's performance as they drew 0-0 with Barcelona last week.

Mou had something to say also about the luck of Juve, who played Saturday and are back on the pitch on Thursday, instead of Wednesday, and declined to meet the press after the game in Cagliari.

'When Inter play poorly he never shows up,' said television commentator Massimo Mauro, a former player of Juve who probably is now in for some acidic riposte.
