Jose Mourinho learns of penalty after astonishing rumor about Turkish referees | Football | Sport

Jose Mourinho was suspended for one match and fined nearly £15,000 following his response to Fenerbahce’s thrilling 3-2 Super League win over Trabzonspor.

The Portuguese coach, who fell while trying to slide his knee at the final whistle during celebrations last Sunday, was accused of “unsporting behavior towards opposing fans” and “devaluing Turkish football and… referees and other match officials” in a heated post-match interview.

Turkish Football Federation announced that Mourinho was punished with a “locker room and bench entry ban” for an official match.

He was also fined 58,500 lira (approximately £1,300) and an additional fine of 600,000 lira (approximately £13,500) for his “hurtful” remarks.

“It is more difficult because we are playing against our rivals, there are good rivals like Trabzonspor, but we are playing against the system and playing against the system is the most difficult thing.”

In addition to the sanctions imposed on Mourinho, Fenerbahce Vice President Acun Ilıcalı, who also owns Hull in the Sky Bet Championship, was also fined 400 thousand liras (approximately £9 thousand) for “making unsportsmanlike statements”.

In his long statement on Fenerbahce’s website, Ilıcalı described the refereeing as “a complete scandal” and stated that VAR “murdered” the match.
