'As if he had been shot!' - Fenerbahce furiously break silence in aftermath of Jose Mourinho's nose grab on Galatasaray manager

<p>Enigmatic Portuguese coach <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-galatasaray-drives-you-crazy-jose-mourinho-brutally-trolled-nose-grab-derby-defeat-fenerbahce-special-one-cartoon-straightjacket/blt1ed2c2c633d79e4a" target="_blank">Mourinho finds himself at the centre of another controversy</a> in Turkey having only recently returned to the dugout after serving a touchline ban. He has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/i-hope-your-shin-pads-are-made-of-carbon-fuming-jose-mourinho-goes-after-galatasaray-star-abdulkerim-bardakci-as-he-posts-video-evidence-of-missed-horror-tackle-in-latest-dig-at-turkish-super-lig-referees/bltaf6f8f9063753b10?utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_id=kp0y2tvoffhdawxg&amp;utm_source_platform=msn&amp;utm_source=msn_en" target="_blank">spoken out against Super Lig match officials on a regular basis</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After taking in another heated derby date with old adversaries Gala, Mourinho was seen tangling with his opposite managerial number. He <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-furious-fenerbahce-boss-jose-mourinho-grabs-galatasaray-manager-nose-mass-brawl-victor-osimhen-derby-defeat/blt0b519d451da65356" target="_blank">grabbed at the face of Okan Buruk</a>, leading to the Galatasaray boss writhing on the floor.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>A <a href="https://x.com/Fenerbahce/status/1907881281741853102" target="_blank">statement from the Istanbul-based giants</a> reads: "This is our statement regarding Okan Buruk, who approached our Technical Director Jose Mourinho, who was meeting with the referees after the match yesterday, under the pretext of shaking their hands, provoked our Technical Director with hand gestures and statements, and had the audacity to make disrespectful hand gestures after crossing the police line.</p><p>"After our Technical Director momentarily touched his nose in response to these provocations, the person in question threw himself on the ground in an exaggerated manner.</p><p>"The disrespectful words and actions of this person, who professionally threw himself to the ground as if he had been shot as a continuation of his planned and excessive provocations, are recorded with images. The meaninglessness and the acting of a person who jumps to the ground and writhes for seconds when his nose is touched is known to the entire public.</p><p>"It is obvious that the images of this person throwing himself to the ground from his football career continued in his career as a coach, and that this attitude is a characteristic stance. It is clear that the evaluation of the ugly provocations and what happened afterwards should not be one-sided, but should be based on a cause-and-effect relationship."</p>

WHAT FENERBAHCE SAID

<p>Galatasaray have already <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/not-clever-jose-mourinho-reacts-galatasaray-racism-allegations-fenerbahce-boss-attack-backfired-turkish-club-african-connections/blt9f82b3102f7da181" target="_blank">accused Mourinho of making racist comments this season, which he vehemently denies</a>, and remain locked in a battle with cross-city neighbours for the Super Lig title - with just six points separating them at present, as Fener boast a game in hand.</p>
