The long-disenchanted start coach José Mourinho is eliminated with Fenerbahçe Istanbul from the Turkish football trophy. Then it gets heated. The coach from Derby opponent Galatasaray wants to celebrate – and then goes to the ground.
Star coach José Mourinho from Fenerbahçe Istanbul triggered a scandal in Turkish football with a grip on the opposing trainer. The visibly frustrated Portuguese grabbed his counterpart from Galatasaray Istanbul to his counterpart after the 1-2 home defeat in the cup quarter-finals from behind, whereupon the emotions cooked. “He puts me on my nose from behind while I keep running. There is a small scratch. Of course, this is not very nice and stylish,” Buruk commented on the incident.
The Vice President of Galatasaray, Metin Öztürk, was less diplomatic: “This recent incident is not only an attack on the coach of Galatasaray, but in Turkish football. This is Mourinho, I don’t know where he gets the courage from. Where can he do that in the world?”
Mourinho was only closed to four games in February after Galatasaray had raised racism allegations to the coach after 0-0 in the league near Fenerbahçe. In addition, Mourinho, who subsequently defended himself against the allegations and submitted a lawsuit against Galatasaray, should initially pay 42,000 euros. The lock was later reduced to two games, the fine at 14,500 euros. Mourinho had accused the fourth referee of the game of bias and claimed that the Galatasaray bank was “jumped like the monkeys in response to an referee decision.
Immediately after the handle, Mourinho had turned over. Buruk wanted to celebrate the victory with his team after a particularly heated Istanbul city derby. In the end there was 15 minutes of added time alone. In the case of a pack formation in front of the replacement benches, there was also a handmade. Referee Cihan Aydin then showed three players the red card. Two of them had been sitting on the bench for the entire game.
Fenerbahçe missed another chance of a title in the home stadium. Last month Mourinho and his team had already left the European League in the round of 16. In the Turkish league, Fener has less six points behind the leader Galatasaray in one game in one game.
