Galatasaray accuse Mourinho of ‘racist statements’ and vow to take legal action

Fenerbahce manager accused of ‘inhumane rhetoric’
He criticised Galatasaray behaviour and Turkish referees

Galatasaray have accused José Mourinho of making “racist statements” and said they would initiate criminal proceedings against the Fenerbahce manager over his comments after their 0-0 Super Lig draw on Monday.

Although it was not clear which statements Galatasaray were referring to, Mourinho said the home side’s bench had been “jumping like monkeys” and that the match would have been a disaster if a Turkish referee had been in charge. Monday’s game was refereed by the Slovenian Slavko Vincic after both clubs requested a foreign official take charge.
