José Mourinho Faces Backlash After Post-Match Altercation with Galatasaray Coach

The Fenerbahçe manager's actions during a heated Turkish Cup derby loss further escalate tensions in one of football's fiercest rivalries.

José Mourinho grabbed Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk's face after Fenerbahçe's 1-2 loss in the Turkish Cup quarterfinals, prompting widespread criticism.
The incident followed a volatile derby in Istanbul, featuring 15 minutes of added time, a bench-clearing brawl, and three red cards issued by the referee.
Okan Buruk theatrically fell to the ground after Mourinho's action, as captured in widely circulated social media videos.
Fenerbahçe's defeat continues a disappointing season under Mourinho, who has faced earlier disciplinary actions and legal disputes with Galatasaray.
Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen scored twice to secure the win, strengthening their position atop the Turkish Super Lig standings.
