Piotr Trochowski's first-minute winner consigned Madrid to their second defeat of the season, and they now sit a mammoth eight points behind league leaders and rivals Barcelona after just four games.
Mourinho said some players were "not committed" but conceded he had to shoulder the blame for the team's lacklustre start to the season.
Calderón, who resigned as president of Los Blancos in January 2009 - 18 months before Mourinho was brought to the Santiago Bernabéu by returning president Florentino Perez - hinted at squad disharmony.
"Mourinho's comments don't help the team in any way. The players could just as easily say that they don't have a coach right now," Calderon told RAC1.
"It would be better to see these losses as incidents. I imagine that the players are not too happy with Mourinho's comments."
Under Mourinho Los Merengues have been eliminated at the semi-final stage by Barcelona in 2011 and Bayern Munich earlier this year.
Madrid attempted to diffuse suggestions of a civil war when the playing duo publicly presented Mourinho with a birthday cake at training, but the repercussions of the exchange in the home dressing room within the confines of the Bernabéu are believed to still linger....watch video below:
