Mourinho Gets Four-Match Ban For ‘Monkeys’ Remark, Referee Criticism
Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho was handed a four-match ban and fined more than €40,000 by the Turkish Football Federation on Thursday for comments he made after a heated Istanbul derby against Galatasaray.
After Monday’s goalless draw, the 62-year-old Mourinho remarked that the home bench had been “jumping like monkeys.”
He also reportedly repeated his criticism of Turkish referees.
Fenerbahçe claimed that Mourinho’s comments were taken out of context.
On Thursday, the Turkish Football Federation’s disciplinary council imposed a two-match suspension for his remarks about the fourth official and an additional two matches for his comments directed at the Galatasaray bench.
His words were deemed “contrary to sporting ethics.”
Mourinho, whose team trails league leaders Galatasaray by six points, was also fined just over €42,000.
