José Mourinho's new breakdown on arbitration

José Mourinho is already at the end of his tether. On the Fenerbahçe bench for only a few months, the Portuguese technician already can't stand the Süper Lig referees anymore. “We didn't see Atilla Karaoglan on the pitch, but he was the most important man in the match, being an invisible man. I speak on behalf of all Fenerbahçe fans. We don't want it. We do not want this referee, neither as a VAR assistant nor as a field referee.said the former Real Madrid coach, pointing the finger directly at the 38-year-old official.

Despite his team's victory against Trabzonspor, at the end of added time (2-3) thanks to a goal from Sofyan Amrabat (90th +12), Mourinho indulged in a new tirade against the refereeing after the match . “We play against good opponents, but also against the system. It's the most difficult thing there is, we play against VAR, against the system. That's why we celebrate like this after we win. We won against very, very strong people. I'm angry at the people at Fenerbahçe who brought me here, they told me half the story. If they had told me everything, I wouldn't have come to Fenerbahçe.”said the 61-year-old coach. Words which are unlikely to please the leaders of Turkish football.
