Turkish league leaders Galatasaray said the club planned to launch criminal proceedings against Jose Mourinho for "derogatory statements" against Turkish people.
A statement from Galatasary said Mourinho "has persistently issued derogatory statements directed towards the Turkish people" since taking over at Fenerbahce in June 2024.
The Turkish league leaders said they plan to launch criminal proceedings after the Portuguese manager made ‘derogatory statements’.
"We hereby formally declare our intention to initiate criminal proceedings concerning the racist statements made by Jose Mourinho, and shall accordingly submit official complaints to Uefa and Fifa.".
The former Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid manager made comments about the Galatasaray bench "jumping like monkeys" after an early challenge and the match being better because it was not officiated by a Turkish referee.
