Turkish football giants Galatasaray have announced plans to initiate criminal proceedings against Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho, accusing him of making racist statements following their 0-0 draw on Monday.
While the club did not specify which comments they were referring to, Mourinho was heard in a post-match press conference saying Galatasaray’s bench had been “jumping like monkeys” after a challenge on a young Fenerbahce player.
He also criticised Turkish referees, calling their involvement in high-profile matches a “disaster” and supporting the decision to appoint a foreign official.
Galatasaray condemned Mourinho’s remarks as “inhumane rhetoric” and vowed to file complaints with UEFA and FIFA, while also pressuring Fenerbahce to take action.
