Update: |Jose Mourinho finds out punishment fate after ex-Man United manager’s latest bust-up News

The 62-year-old clashed with Galatasaray manager Ozan Turuk after his side crashed out of the Turkish Cup.

Former Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has been handed a three-match ban following his clash with Galatasaray counterpart Ozan Turuk.

The 62-year-old appeared to pinch Turuk’s nose after Fenerbahce’s 2-1 Turkish Cup loss on Wednesday night.

Mourinho, who was sacked by United in 2018, then handed to be dragged away by players from both sides as the match ended in a controversial manner.

The former Chelsea manager, who has also received a fine of around £6,000 for what the TFF described as “unsportsmanlike behaviour”, will now their miss key games against Trabzonspor, Sivasspor and Kayserispor.

Fenerbahce are six points behind Galatasaray at the top of the Turkish Super Lig, but they do also have a game-in-hand over their arch rivals.

“Now, let me be absolutely clear here, Fenerbahce didn’t bring Jose Mourinho here to maintain the status quo. We brought him here to disrupt it,” club board member Fethi Pekin told Sky Sports recently.

“Mourinho represents everything this club is aiming for; ambition, courage and a relentless desire to win.

“He does not take losing as an option. He’s not here to coach 90 minutes of football. He’s here to build a winning culture and, sometimes, that means speaking up and standing firm in the face of provocation.

“What happened in the recent derby match was not just a football rivalry.

“It was an orchestrated effort to provoke our bench, our squad, our players, and our manager.”
