Fenerbahce has responded to racism allegations against Jose Mourinho.


Fenerbahce claims that Jose Mourinho's comments were taken out of context after Galatasaray accused him of racism.

Following Monday's 0-0 draw between the two clubs, Turkish Süper Lig leaders announced plans to file criminal charges against Mourinho for making "derogatory statements" about Turkish people.

The club also stated that it would file complaints with UEFA and FIFA after the 62-year-old claimed that the Galatasaray bench was "jumping like monkeys" following an early challenge and that the match would have been a disaster if a Turkish referee had been in charge.

Slovenian Slavko Vincic refereed the Istanbul derby after both clubs requested that a foreign match official take charge.

Galatasaray issued a statement calling Mourinho's behavior "reprehensible," adding that he "has persistently issued derogatory statements directed towards the Turkish people" since taking over Fenerbahce in June 2024.

Fenerbahce responds to racism allegations against Jose Mourinho.

In response, Fenerbahce accused Galatasaray of "deliberately" distorting the former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham manager's remarks with a "completely malicious" statement.

"A statement made by our Technical Director Jose Mourinho after the match was completely taken out of context and an attempt was made to deliberately distort it," the club claimed.

"As every sensible person can see and understand, Jose Mourinho's statements describing the opposing team's technical staff's excessive reaction to referee decisions during the match have nothing to do with racism.

"Trying to portray this statement as racist is a completely malicious tactic. We would like to inform the public that we will exercise our legal rights in response to this pathetic slander in order to remove the competition from the field, change the agenda, and manipulate it.

Mourinho was given a one-game suspension and fined nearly £15,000 earlier this season for his reaction to Fenerbahce's 3-2 Süper Lig victory over Trabzonspor.

The Portuguese was charged with "unsportsmanlike behavior towards opposing team fans" and "diminishing the value of Turkish football and discrediting the impartiality of referees and other match officials" during an outspoken post-match interview.

Fiorentina midfielder Edoardo Bove collapsed during a Serie A match.

Edoardo Bove, a Fiorentina midfielder, slumped on the pitch during his team's Serie A match against Inter Milan on Sunday. Bove's teammates hastily shouted for medical assistance and surrounded the 22-year-old before doctors treated him and quickly transferred him to a nearby ambulance on the side of the pitch. The event occurred in the 16th minute of the match, which was momentarily suspended at 0-0 and then abandoned with plans to reschedule later in the season. According to Sky Sport Italia, Bove was rushed to the Careggi Hospital near Fiorentina's Stadio Artemio Franchi. The Italian broadcaster later stated that Bove was breathing and beating on his own. In the minutes following Bove's fall, his teammates and opponents were visibly stunned and sad, with some in tears. In April, Roma defender Evan Ndicka collapsed with a hand on his chest, and Piermario Morosini died after heart arrest during a Serie B match 12 years ago. Inter and Fiorentina are both near the ...

Barcelona dealt enormous injury blow ahead of Inter and Real Madrid clashes.

In a heartbreaking evening, Barcelona came back from two goals down against Inter in the Champions League semi-final first leg. The Blaugrana will believe they should have won the game after losing twice from set pieces. Now they're calculating the expense. After only 42 minutes, French defender Jules Kounde collapsed on the pitch, clutching the back of his calf. He had to be replaced by Eric Garcia, who performed admirably as a right-back out of position. Kounde's injury has raised concerns ahead of a number of critical games. Kounde will be tested on Thursday, but it appears that he has a muscle problem, most likely more serious than a grade tear. According to Sport, Kounde will miss their La Liga match against Real Valladolid, their Champions League return leg in Milan against Inter, and their decisive Clasico against Real Madrid the following weekend. Kounde was seen limping as he exited the stadium, telling the cameras, 'We'll see tomorrow'.
