The Turkish Football Federation has decided to punish the Portuguese Jose Mourinho, the coach of the Fenerbahce team, by suspending him for one match and imposing a financial fine after his strong attack on Turkish football, when he declared that he was fighting “the system” and indicated that the referees were biased against his team.
Mourinho felt the referees were biased against his team, saying: “The Turkish league smells bad and he wonders why international fans are watching it.
He added: “He would not have agreed to coach the team if the club management had informed him of the whole truth about the functioning of the league.”
The Turkish Football Federation’s disciplinary committee called Mourinho’s statements unsportsmanlike and fined him 900,000 Turkish liras ($26,200) for questioning the impartiality of referees and other match officials .
The Turkish FA has decided to suspend the former Chelsea coach for one match and fine him 58,500 liras ($1,700) for his unsporting behavior towards the opposing team’s fans.
The penalty prevents Mourinho from entering the dressing room. Mourinho is expected to take the penalty on Sunday, when Fenerbahce host Sivasspor.
These statements came even though his team beat Trabzonspor 3-2 after his team scored the winning goal in the 12th minute of stoppage time in the match, leading to big celebrations when the Portuguese coach ran on the ground and attempted to do a knee slide. , but he fell face down on the field.
Last Thursday, Mourinho watched from the stands as his side’s 3-1 defeat to AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League, where he was serving a one-match suspension after receiving a red card against Manchester United.
At that time, Mourinho, 61, said he would coach a team that does not play in the European Championships: If I find an England team at the bottom of the table that needs a coach here two years I’m ready to go.
