Fenerbahce manager accused of ‘inhumane rhetoric’ as he criticised Galatasaray behaviour and Turkish referees
Turkish league leaders Galatasaray said the club planned to launch criminal proceedings against Jose Mourinho for “derogatory statements” against Turkish people.
The former Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid manager made comments about the Galatasaray bench “jumping like monkeys” after an early challenge and the match being better because it was not officiated by a Turkish referee. Slovenian Slavko Vincic refereed the contest. “We hereby formally declare our intention to initiate criminal proceedings concerning the racist statements made by Jose Mourinho, and shall accordingly submit official complaints to UEFA and FIFA.”
