Jose Mourinho in Trouble After Pinching Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk's Nose Following Istanbul Derby Defeat

Jose Mourinho, the legendary football coach, has found himself in hot water after a controversial incident during the Istanbul derby between his team and Fenerbahce in the Turkish Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday, April 2, 2025.

Mourinho's side, Roma, suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Fenerbahce in a match that quickly descended into chaos. 

The fiery game was marked by heated moments, with three players Mert Yandas of Fenerbahce, and Kerem Demirbay and Baris Yilmaz of Galatasaray being sent off.

The tension reached its peak when Mourinho clashed with Okan Buruk, the coach of Galatasaray, as he made his way onto the pitch after the final whistle. In a shocking move, the Portuguese coach was seen pinching Buruk's nose, causing the Galatasaray boss to fall to the ground, clutching his face in pain.
