José Mourinho became a protagonist again, this time for an unusual and controversial moment at the end of the derby between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, to tell the quarterfinals of the Turkey Cup.
Following Galatasaray’s 2-1 victory, the visiting club’s players and technical team went to their fans to celebrate. With a strong contingent of security guards already on the pitch, Mourinho decided to intervene unexpectedly: he approached Okan Buruk, the opposing coach, and squeezed his nose.
Buruk’s reaction was immediate and theatrical – it fell to the ground clinging to the face, as if it had been a foul within the four lines. The episode quickly became viral, with reactions divided between those who saw humor in the situation and who considered the gesture unnecessary and provocative.
