In case you were wondering what Jose Mourinho is up to these days, the answer is “grabbing the nose of other coaches in Turkey.”
The longtime manager, in his first year with the Süper Lig’s Fenerbahçe, got into a bizarre altercation with Galatasaray’s Okan Buruk on Wednesday after a 2-1 loss to his team’s rival in the Turkish Cup quarterfinals.

Simply put, Mourinho played the “got your nose” game with his colleague, who proceeded to sell the contact at a level that would make any soccer star proud.
There is a little history there, beyond the century-plus history of Turkey’s two biggest teams.
Per ESPN, Mourinho received a four-game ban after criticizing Turkish officiating in the last meeting between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray, a scoreless draw. After that match, Galatasaray accused Mourinho of making racist remarks by describing their bench as “jumping around like monkeys.”
Mourinho is suing the team in response.

All of that might explain how the Galtasaray X account had a lot to say about Mourinho after the game, from one post that directly translates to “YOU SHOULD NOT ATTACK, YOU SHOULD DIGEST!” to a fully animated video that… ends with Mourinho straitjacketed in a mental asylum?
Mourinho, whose professional stops include Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Inter Milan and Tottenham Hotspur, joined Fenerbahçe last June after getting dropped by Roma. Fenerbahçe currently sits in second place on the Süper Lig table, six points behind Galatasaray.

Com contas reprovadas, Corinthians volta a discutir sobre o impeachment do presidente Augusto Melo
Augusto Melo, presidente do Corinthians (Foto: Reprodução) As contas do Corinthians em 2024 foram reprovadas no começo desta semana pelo Conselho Deliberativo do clube, em reunião. O balanço, referente ao primeiro ano do mandato do presidente Augusto Melo, pode fazer voltar as movimentações para que o dirigente seja alvo de impeachment. De acordo com o Uol Esporte, com o veto ao balanço do último ano, já haverá de forma automática a entrada de um processo de impedimento (que, no caso de Melo, seria o terceiro) do atual mandatário corintiano. Tal pedido deverá conter assinaturas de, pelo menos, 51 conselheiros ativos do Timão e terá de ser remetido ao presidente do órgão, Romeu Tuma Júnior, que encaminhará o parecer para a Comissão de Ética e Disciplina.

Ancelotti volta atrás e recusa oferta da CBF para assumir a seleção; diz imprensa espanhola
Uma reviravolta na novela em torno do novo treinador da seleção brasileira. É o que apontam os jornais espanhóis nesta terça-feira. De acordo com os diários Marca e AS, Carlo Ancelotti voltou atrás e recusou a oferta da CBF. O motivo seria o surgimento de uma proposta para trabalhar na Arábia Saudita. Além disso, Ancelotti não poderia assumir o novo compromisso em junho, como queria a CBF. Os representantes enviados pela entidade para conversar com o treinador na Europa estevam convictos de que isso não seria um problema. Contudo, o técnico do Real Madrid avisou que só poderia fazê-lo em agosto, após o Mundial de Clubes da Fifa. Ancelotti viajou na última segunda-feira para Londres, onde se reuniu pessoalmente com os empresários brasileiros que faziam a intermediação das conversas entre ele e a CBF.
