Mourinho under pressure: Galatasaray is suing the star coach!
In a heated city derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce that took place in Istanbul on Monday evening, Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho lost control of his words. After the interminable 0-0, his racist comments about the opposing bench came to light when he announced in a press conference that they had reacted “like monkeys”. Firstly, this outrageous remark could have legal consequences for Mourinho, as Galatasaray have already announced that they will initiate criminal proceedings. The club also plans to file a formal complaint with UEFA and FIFA to demand further consequences, such as Krone.at reported.
Referee and standings
Particularly spicy: Mourinho's criticism is not only directed at the opposing bench, but also at the Turkish referees, whose performance he has been questioning for some time. This time the game was officiated by a Slovenian referee, which Mourinho praised as a positive decision. “I think he is responsible for the great game we played,” he said of Slavko Vincic and attested to his “top performance.” Despite this scolding from the referee, Fenerbahce remains behind Galatasaray in the league and is six points behind league leaders Galatasaray after 24 match days Spiegel.de determines.
