    Mourinho is off to Fenerbache for two years. They haven't won a league title for 10 years, it'll be interesting to see what Mourinho can do with one of the big 3 in Turkey.

    Spurs and Roma are big clubs but neither jobs were really title-contending jobs. This is probably the first time in a while that he's going to a club with title-winning ambitions.

    Safe to say Jose isn't too happy. Pretty much suggesting the Turkish league is corrupt in favour of Galatasaray :D

    He's already five points behind and lost the derby.

    Needs to be careful with his words. The Turks don't play games :laugh:

    Follow up but Galatasaray's opponents have walked off the pitch today following a penalty decision. The game has been suspended but more controversy around decisions and accusations of corruption in the Turkish league

    He's kind of had this coming with his constant belittling of the Turkish league, but I think Galatasaray are going a step too far accusing him of racism. They're just trying to get him cancelled.

    In fact, didn't their own official socials upload a video of a monkey running off with a trophy when they won the league back from Fenerbahce a few years ago? :laugh:

    Netflix need to do a reality show where Jose goes and manages all the fiercest football rivalries. Send him to manage Boca or River Plate next.

    Sounds class.

    Give him a challenge each new rivalry, like he has 2 seasons to wind up the opposition manager enough that they attack him.

    Also, throw in a different guest assistant manager each job, like Kevin Hart, Ray Meagher or Karl Pilkington.

    Mourinho's retaliation claims spark resignations in Turkish football authority

    As a message containing evidence of organized retaliation against Jose Mourinho, the coach of Fenerbahçe, has been leaked, a situation has arisen where the Chairperson and former Commissioners of the Turkish Professional Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK) have resigned.

    On the 18th (Korea time), according to Turkey's 'Ayyansspor', controversy began when chat messages exchanged among the Commissioners of the Disciplinary Committee under the Turkish Football Federation on social media (SNS) were leaked externally.

    The problem at hand is that the Commissioners exchanged messages saying, "We will retaliate next season," and "We have been too lenient this season" regarding Coach Mourinho. Some Commissioners are known to be Galatasaray fans, raising suspicion of collusion for biased disciplinary actions against specific clubs.

    In response, Fenerbahçe immediately issued an official statement saying, "Such a hostile mindset based on retaliation and emotional responses is a direct violation of the fairness of Turkish sports," and criticized, "This is a clear attack on the spirit of equality in sports and is an issue that can no longer be tolerated."

    Fenerbahçe strongly requested an official investigation related to this matter from the Turkish Football Federation (TFF), and it has been reported that all individuals involved in the controversy, including the Chairperson of the PFDK and the board members, have resigned.

    This incident raises serious questions about the fairness and neutrality within Turkish football and is causing a significant stir in the football community. At the same time, the fact that Coach Mourinho was previously disciplined for criticizing Turkish referees and the football community is once again drawing attention.
