Explained: When Jose Mourinho will be back in the dugout after ban appeal – with ex-Real Madrid & Chelsea boss being restricted to a seat in the stands at Fenerbahce

<p>Mourinho's ban has been cut to two matches, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-banned-fenerbahce-boss-suspension-comments-galatasaray/blt56d0fd5a688e29f0" target="_blank">after he was punished for comments made about Turkish referees after last Monday's 0-0 draw with Galatasaray</a>. It means he will be in the stands for Sunday's Super Lig clash with Antalyaspor having already missed Thursday's Turkish Cup tie against Gaziantep. He will return to the bench when his side host Samsunspor on Sunday 16 March.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The Turkish Football Federation initially handed Mourinho a four-match ban and a £35,000 fine - which has been cut to £12,200 - for "his derogatory and offensive statements towards the Turkish referee" and "accusations of chaos and disorder in Turkish football". The match on Monday was refereed by Slovenian Slavko Vincic after both clubs requested a foreign official take charge, prompting Mourinho to make the comments that landed him in hot water.</p>

THE EXPLANATION

<p>Mourinho said: "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."</p>

WHAT MOURINHO SAID

<p>The drama is not yet over as Galatasaray have announced they will take legal action against the Federation as a result of the decreased ban. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/galatasaray-initiate-criminal-proceedings-jose-mourinho-fenerbahce/blt3ba1c65a2d7f706c" target="_blank">The Super Lig leaders also threatened legal action over "racist statements" made by Mourinho during their game</a>, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-sues-galatasaray-fenerbahce-confirm-lawsuit-racism-accusation/bltcbab50db0e488006" target="_blank">Fenerbahce filing their own lawsuit "due to the attack on the personal rights" of Mourinho</a>. </p>
