Galatasaray Files Racism Complaint Against Mourinho with FIFA & UEFA
Mourinho Controversy – “Jumping Like Monkeys” Remark
Galatasaray has accused Fenerbahce’s manager, José Mourinho, of making racist remarks following a 0-0 draw in the Istanbul derby. After the match, Mourinho reportedly stated that the Galatasaray bench was “jumping like monkeys” during a contentious moment. In response, Galatasaray announced plans to initiate criminal proceedings against Mourinho and to file official complaints with UEFA and FIFA. The club condemned Mourinho’s comments as “inhumane rhetoric” and highlighted a pattern of derogatory statements towards Turkish people since his tenure began in June 2024. This will not go down well with the likes of Victor Osihmen
Mourinho has not yet publicly responded to these allegations. Fenerbahce, currently second in the Super Lig standings, remains six points behind league leaders Galatasaray.
- In November, the former Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur manager received a one-match ban and a fine following his criticism of Turkish football. Mourinho claimed he was battling “the system” and suggested that match officials exhibited bias against his team. Confirmed news from ESPN
