"We would like to inform you that We will file a criminal complaint with the Prosecutor's Office "We are deeply concerned about Jose Mourinho 's racist remarks and will also lodge a complaint with UEFA and FIFA. In addition to all these initiatives, we will follow the attitude of our rival 'moral role model' technical directors in response to this statement," Galatasaray posted on its social media.

What did Mourinho say?

The Turkish club's annoyance towards Mourinho began because the Portuguese claimed that rival players “They jumped like monkeys” on the bench, protesting a referee's decision in the match.

In response to the accusation against the Portuguese, the Fenerbahce Club released a statement on its social networks fully supporting its coach: “A comment made by our coach, José Mourinho, after the match was deliberately taken out of context and misleadingly distorted.

As any reasonable person can recognise, the expression used by José Mourinho was intended solely describe the disproportionate reaction of the opposing team's coaching staff "in response to refereeing decisions during the match. These statements cannot, under any circumstances, be associated with racism," Fenerbahce said on its official X account.

No sanction has been made official for the coach at this time, however Mourinho and Fenerbahce have confirmed that there will be a counter-suit in response to Galatasaray's strong accusations.
