Jose Mourinho It is from sanction to sanction. On Thursday he watched from the stands the Europa League match that his current team, Fenerbahçe, lost to AZ Alkmaar (3-1). The Portuguese coach served his suspension for the red card he saw against Manchester United (1-1) on the previous day of the tournament.
Well now Mourinho was suspended for one match and fined a total of 26,000 euros of the disciplinary committee of the Turkish Football Federation.
The reason? The very painful statement of Mourinho after the match against Trabzonspor (2-3) on Sunday in the Turkish Super League. The victory came with a goal in the 12th minute of extra time. Sofian Amrabat and despite the fact that the opposing team scored its two goals from penalties, while Fenerbahçe was not awarded the one it claimed. The Portuguese coach ran onto the field and tried to celebrate the goal on his knees but fell face-first onto the grass.
The harsh statements
”’I can’t believe this is the dimension of the Super League. The Turkish League is too dark, too grey, it smells bad,” Mourinho said after the game.
‘We play against good rivals, but also against the system. That’s the hardest thing there is that we’re playing against VAR, against the system,” Mourinho continued. “That’s why we celebrate like this after winning. We won against very strong people. I am angry with the Fenerbahçe people who brought me here, they told me half the story. “If they had told me everything, I wouldn’t have gone to Fenerbahce.” The Portuguese arrived at the Istanbul club in June.
The Turkish Federation charges him for these harsh accusations, where he questioned the impartiality of the referees, a fine of 24,500 euros. In addition, he was punished with a one-match suspension and 1,500 euros more for unsporting behavior towards Trabzonspor fans.
The sanction, which will also bar him from entering the locker room, is expected to be carried out by Mourinho this Sunday, when Fenerbahçe, in third place 5 points behind leaders Galatasaray, host Sivasspor.
