Mourinho Criticizes Turkish Football After Victory

After Fenerbahçe's dramatic 3-2 victory over Trabzonspor, José Mourinho launched an eight-minute tirade criticizing the quality of Turkish football and its referees, particularly targeting VAR referee Atilla Karaoglan. He expressed disbelief at the alleged corruption he encountered, stating he would not have taken the job had he understood the situation fully. Mourinho denounced the Turkish league as 'dark and smells bad,' questioning why anyone outside Turkey would want to watch it. Despite his grievances, he committed to giving his all for Fenerbahçe. His comments have sparked discussions about the state of refereeing and the integrity of the league. The match ended with a last-minute goal from Sofyan Amrabat, which Mourinho initially celebrated enthusiastically before his post-match outburst.
