On the 2nd, Fenerbahce lost to Galatasaray in the semifinals of the 2024-2025 Turkey Cup. The two teams played a close game, and the match was fierce, with three exits in extra time in the second half.
The problem broke out after the game.
While Mourinho was shaking hands, he pulled the nose of director Okan Buruk Galatasaray. Director Brooke cradled his face and sat down on the spot. This image was captured on the broadcast screen and shocked fans.
Earlier, Mourinho was embroiled in a controversy over his personality due to his harsh words and actions several times. It became a problem when he publicly criticized the referee's decision after the game against Galatasaray in February. At this time, he said to the opponent's bench, "'Run around like a monkey.'" Mourinho was also suspended for four games.
Mourinho's Fenerbahce is on the verge of not winning a single cup this season. As even the Cup tournament was eliminated, he has to put his life and death into winning the league.
With each game important, Mourinho will be away for three games. As the controversy continues, the club is also expected to take measures. There is a good chance that Mourinho will be replaced. It is pointed out that there is no need to hire a coach who is at the center of the moral controversy at a time when his performance is not good.
