	Ottawa Sun: - Cuper is Mr. Unpopular (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		The root of Cuper's problem is that he has actually managed to fashion a team for Moratti, a compulsive shopaholic who has spent hundreds of millions buying and discarding soccer stars.
		Cuper used to defend himself by saying he had no decent wingers, but that argument no longer holds after Moratti bought him Andy van der Meyde and Kily Gonzales -- both of whom were pulled during the AC Milan game with disastrous results.
		Since Cuper has promised to quit if he doesn't win any major trophies this season, he should be given a chance to fulfil that promise, it argued.

		Cuper, who took the helm in June 2001, paid the price for the club's poor start to the season which has left them in sixth place, seven points behind leaders Juventus.
		Cuper was warned by Moratti that further mistakes would not be tolerated after Inter lost to AC Milan two weeks ago.
		Cuper, often criticised for his defensive tactics, is the third Serie A coach to lose his job this season following the sackings of Bologna's Francesco Guidolin and Ancona's Leonardo Menichini.

	Washingtonpost.com: UEFA Champions League
		Tuesday, May 8, 2001; 5:46 PM VALENCIA, Spain, May 8 – Valencia coach Hector Cuper urged his players to go on and finish the job after reaching a second successive Champions League final with a brilliant 3-0 victory over Leeds United on Tuesday.
		For Cuper it will be a third successive European final, after his Real Mallorca side were beaten by Lazio in the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1999 and last year's disappointing defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League.
		Cuper put Tuesday's superb victory over Leeds down to the ability of his players to temper their enthusiasm with the right tactics.

	September
		Hector Cuper sprung a surprise by dropping Hernan Crespo from the starting line-up despite his bright start to his Inter career, however with the forthcoming Champions League clash with Ajax in mind it is understandable.
		Hector Cuper's side went into the break with a 1-0 lead, courtesy of Hernan Crespo 's first official goal in an Inter shirt, but the Norwegians came back strong after the restart.
		Coach Hector Cuper has reinforced his squad well over the summer and his Nerazzurri team should be far too good for a Torino side who have signed just two new players over the summer.

		Ronaldo did not feature in the Inter Milan side which beat AS Roma 3-1 on Sunday and club president Massimo Moratti said coach Hector Cuper had given him the go-ahead to return to Brazil, even though he is fit to play.
		The Inter president denied there was any rift over the role of the Brazilian at Inter but appeared far from relaxed about the prospect of his star possession being in the hands of the Brazilian team, after previous clashes over the use of the player.
		Argentine Cuper said he had given the go-ahead for Ronaldo to feature in Wednesday's friendly, which will be his first competitive outing this year.

	Inter Milan sack coach Cuper
		Cuper, in his third season at Inter, had been warned by chairman Massimo Moratti that further setbacks would not be tolerated after the 3-1 derby defeat by rivals AC Milan two weeks ago.
		The goal was almost reached in Cuper's first season at Inter but the title was thrown away on the final day of the season with a 4-2 defeat at Lazio handing the title to Juventus.
		Despite criticism of Cuper in the press, Inter's fans stood by the coach and Moratti insisted that he had faith in Cuper bringing in wingers Andy van der Meyde and Kily Gonzalez during the close season to add the quality wide players that the coach had requested.

		At the back, Cuper has brought in the Italian Potenza from Inter and the Argentinean Tuzzio, as well as Fernando Navarro from Barca, whilst the midfielder Doni in from Sampdoria will bring both steel and technique to the side.

	Observer \| Boo boys follow Cuper to the ends of the earth
		Cuper has come a long way since then, but must be wondering whether it has all been worth it as his Inter Milan team, second in the league and second in Champions League group A, are preparing to face Newcastle United on Tuesday night under a cloud of speculation about his future.
		This season, Cuper sent Luigi Di Biagio and Christian Vieri home after the pair complained that the temperature in their room was too high, while Stephane Dalmat and Domenico Morfeo found no support from the coach after being booed by their own fans against Piacenza.
		The problem for Cuper is that his players are not playing that well at the moment and Newcastle should be able to profit.

		Cuper led the Spanish side to back-to-back Champions League Finals in 2000 and 2001, where they lost to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively.
		In his second season at the Inter helm, it is ironic that Cuper's old club hold his fate in their hands.
		In contrast to the free-flowing likes of Juventus and AC Milan, his Inter side is generally much less pleasing on the eye, relying heavily on discipline and moments of individual attacking inspiration from Vieri and the Uruguayan Alvaro Recoba.
