Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho grabbed the nose of Galatasaray head coach Okan Buruk after Fenerbahce were knocked out of the Turkish Cup by their heated rival as Galatasaray won 2-1 thanks to the brace scored by former Napoli striker Victor Osimhen. As things got particularly heated in the last minutes of the game that was played at the Fenerbahce home stadium, the Portuguese manager got close to the rival manager and grabbed him by his nose.
Buruk immediately collapsed on the pitch, attempting to sell the poor gesture of Mourinho, who immediately ran into the dressing room. Mourinho, who managed Chelsea and Inter in his career among other top European clubs, was appointed in the summer of 2024 by Fenerbahce after he was sacked by AS Roma in January 2024. Since he arrived in Turkiye, Mourinho immediately showed his personality and had some big verbal fights with the city rivals, including the one that recently led the same Galatasaray to sue “The Special One” for alleged racist claims, saying the opposing bench jumped “like monkeys” during a February press conference.
The tension between the two historical rivals increased this season also with Mourinho’s arrival in the country, as the former Real Madrid boss often showed his disapproval of the league’s leadership, accusing Galatasaray of corruption on multiple occasions. As Galatasaray are currently leading the league with a six-point margin, the tension raised its peak when the Turkish FA decided to appoint a foreign referee for the last league derby, which took place with 30,000 police officers ready to intervene on the sidelines of the RAMS Park, the home stadium of Galatasaray.
It’s not the first time Mourinho has been at the center of similar episodes that included the rival bench. In August of 2011, Mourinho was part of an incident with Pep Guardiola’s former assistant manager, the late Tito Vilanova, during the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup at the Camp Nou in Barcelona. Back then, Mourinho was the Real Madrid manager and that game in particular marked the peak of the rivalry between the two sides over the past decades.
Right after former Real Madrid defender Marcelo received a red card for a tackle on Cesc Fabregas, Mourinho approached Vilanova from behind and poked him in the eye with his right finger, as the TV images showed in real time. Later, the Spanish FA issued a two-game ban to the same Mourinho and a one-game ban to Vilanova, but both suspensions were lifted in July 2012 as part of a controversial decision of the federation.
It remains to be seen what type of punishment Mourinho will face, but reports suggest he could be looking at a four-game ban.

WM-Favoriten fahren ineinander – Crash-Frust in der Formel 1
Diesen Crash hat sogar der Teamboss geahnt!In Runde 67 des Großen Preises von Montreal kollidieren die beiden McLaren-Piloten Oscar Piastri (24) und Lando Norris (25). Beide liegen in der WM-Führung vorne, machen wohl den Titel unter sich aus.Sie liegen auf Platz 4 und 5, Norris will innen überholen, fährt seinem Teamkollegen ins Heck und berührt die Mauer. Der Brite funkt: „Das war mein Fehler, tut mir leid.“Crash-Frust beim Spitzenteam! Seit Saisonbeginn wird Teamboss Zak Brown (53) immer wieder gefragt, ob es eine Rangordnung bei McLaren gibt. Der Ami will seine Piloten einfach fahren lassen, ohne einzugreifen. Sie sollen den Titel auf der Strecke unter sich ausmachen. Nach dem Monaco-Rennen hatte er einen Crash geahnt, ja nahezu befürchtet: „Irgendwann kann es krachen zwischen den beiden. Wir wollen es natürlich nicht, aber...“Jetzt ist es passiert! Vor dem Spanien-Rennen hatte Oscar Piastri noch […]

PSG vs Atletico Madrid live updates: Lee wraps up 4-0 Club World Cup 2025 win for European champions
Well, what to make of that match? It was certainly more competitive than today's first at the Club World Cup, Bayern Munich's 10-0 thrashing of Auckland City. Paris Saint-Germain looked every bit as impressive as they did in last month's Champions League final win over Inter. However, the 4-0 final does flatter them a bit. Atletico deserved at least one goal today, between their disallowed goal and Alexander Sorloth's absolute sitter he somehow missed. Similarly, PSG's fourth goal was a real gift. The current handball rule is much too harsh on defenders when they're a foot away from the attacker, if you ask me. Still, this was mostly the heavyweight bout that Gianni Infantino would've been dreaming about when he engineered this competition, even if the California heat dampened the players' energy some.
U.S. Open 2025 live updates: Round 4 leaderboard and scores with play suspended due to dangerous weather
The top contenders were already struggling enough — Sam Burns, Adam Scott and Viktor Hovland have all lost two strokes, and J.J. Spaun five — and now the conditions are going to add another element to the equation once play does resume. Who can be a mudder? Even if the rain holds up enough to allow them to get back on the course, it’s probably not done falling. So who can manage their equipment and just stay present enough to focus on the next shot over everything else?If I had to guess, it’s Tyrrell Hatton, who is tied-third at 1-over-par, three shots behind Burns. Hatton is, he’ll admit, almost always miserable anyways. What’s being wet on top of that?
