The press service of “Fenerbahçe” issued an official statement following the publication by “Galatasaray,” in which the club accused their coach José Mourinho of racism.
“After the match between our team and ‘Galatasaray,’ we decided that it was necessary to make the following statement.
The phrase that our coach José Mourinho said at the end of the match was completely taken out of context and deliberately distorted. As any rational person can see and understand, these remarks made by José Mourinho to describe the excessive reaction of the opposing team's coaching staff to the referee's decision in no way can be linked to racism. The attempt to present these words as racist is an absolutely malicious approach.
We inform the public that we will use our legal rights regarding this pitiful slander, which is thrown out with the aim of pushing the rivalry beyond the field, changing the agenda, and manipulating,” the statement on the official website of “Fenerbahçe” says.
