Galatasaray has announced plans to initiate criminal proceedings against Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho for alleged racist remarks made after a match that ended in a 0-0 draw. Mourinho praised the Slovenian referee's performance while implying Turkish referees would not have managed well, leading Galatasaray to accuse him of consistently making derogatory comments about the Turkish people. They described Mourinho's recent statements as crossing the line into inhumane rhetoric, prompting their decision to escalate the matter to football authorities FIFA and UEFA for investigation.
"Since the commencement of his managerial duties in Türkiye, Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho has persistently issued derogatory statements directed towards the Turkish people. Today, his discourse has escalated beyond merely immoral comments into unequivocally inhumane rhetoric."
"The performance of the referee was a top performance. Anyone, not just from this country but also abroad, watched a big football match. I think the man responsible for that was the referee."
