Jose Mourinho had a much less stressful afternoon when his Fenerbahce side was walking around a 4-1 Gaziantep victory in the Turkish Cup.
Mourinho has been at the center of a storm since Monday, he fought on Monday Istanbul Derby with Galatasaray ended 0-0.
The Portuguese were accused of racism after saying that the staff of Gala coaches “jumped like monkeys” in order to reserve defender Fener Yusuf Akcicek.
This exasperated gala which threatened criminal procedures against Mourinho after affirming that he had used an “inhuman rhetoric”.
Fener retaliated with a strongly written statement, accusing the gala of “pathetic slander”.
Dismiss “dad” Mourinho
Even the former striker of Gala Didier Drogba had his say, urging his former club to abandon their case and described the 62 -year -old man as his “father”.
With everything that happens in the background, Mourinho would have been relieved to return to equal the action today and his players have certainly made their part to appease the noise around their trainer.
