'Where else in the world can he do this?' - Galatasaray call for Jose Mourinho ban after Fenerbahce manager's 'verbal and physical attack' in Turkish Cup defeat

Super Lig

Galatasaray

<p>Galatasaray claimed a 2-1 victory at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, with Victor Osimhen netting a brace. However, tensions escalated after the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/explained-when-jose-mourinho-back-in-dugout-ban-appeal-real-madrid-chelsea-boss-being-restricted-fenerbahce/blt1482d78cff56b9bc" target="_blank">final whistle</a>, leading to an on-pitch scuffle.  </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The confrontation reportedly unfolded when both Mourinho and Okan Boruk approached the match officials at the center of the pitch. As <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/video-furious-fenerbahce-boss-jose-mourinho-grabs-galatasaray-manager-nose-mass-brawl-victor-osimhen-derby-defeat/blt0b519d451da65356#csc0f132007a34433e" target="_blank">Buruk was engaged in conversation</a>, Mourinho came from behind and appeared to pinch his nose, an action that caused Buruk to fall to the ground, holding his face.  </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="tr" dir="ltr">MOURINHO'DAN OKAN BURUK'A FİZİKSEL MÜDAHALE! <a href="https://t.co/YLlNiSxIwQ">pic.twitter.com/YLlNiSxIwQ</a></p>— Fotomaç (@fotomac) <a href="https://twitter.com/fotomac/status/1907523670949638349?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 2, 2025</a></blockquote>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Galatasaray’s vice-president, Metin Ozturk, condemned Mourinho’s actions, describing the incident as an unacceptable attack. </p><p>"Our manager, Okan and Mourinho congratulated the referees. After that, while Okan was continuing, Mourinho first verbally and then physically attacked him," he said. </p><p>"Where else in the world can he do this? What does he think of Turkey? I believe that Fenerbahce's management will impose the necessary sanction before the federation does." </p>

WHAT METIN OZTURK SAID

<p>This is not the first time Mourinho has been at odds with Galatasaray. Following a goalless Turkish Super Lig draw in February, the club accused him of making racist remarks, prompting them to initiate legal proceedings against the Portuguese coach. The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) later imposed a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-clever-jose-mourinho-reacts-galatasaray-racism-allegations-fenerbahce-boss-attack-backfired-turkish-club-african-connections/blt9f82b3102f7da181" target="_blank">four-match suspension</a> and a £35,194 fine on Mourinho for separate infractions. In response to the allegations, Mourinho filed a lawsuit against Galatasaray, citing a violation of his personal rights.  </p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>With Mourinho now at the center of yet another controversy, a fresh suspension could be on the horizon. If further disciplinary action is taken, he may be forced to miss crucial matches in Fenerbahce’s campaign. They are scheduled to face Trabzonspor on Sunday, and all eyes will be on how the TFF responds to Galatasaray’s calls for punishment. </p>
