Thursday, March 6, 2025 - Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has spoken for the first time about the racism allegation made against him.
The allegations came after a 0-0 draw with Galatasaray in the Istanbul
Derby last month.
Mourinho, speaking to the media after that game, claimed the opposition
bench was “jumping around like monkeys”.
Despite the outrage and threats of lawsuits, Mourinho insists he felt
calm and relaxed.
According to the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss, their Turkish
rivals “were not clever” because they didn’t know about his African
connections.
“They were not clever in the way they attacked me, because they didn’t
know my past,” Mourinho said in an interview with Sky Sports.
“They didn’t know my connections with Africa, with African people and
African players and African charities.
“So instead of going against me, I think it boomeranged and went against
them.
“Everyone knows who I am as a person. Everybody knows my bad qualities,
but that is not one of my bad qualities. Exactly the opposite.”
