Jose Mourinho Protests Amidst Fenerbahce Win In An Amusing Manner, Find Out How!
Jose Mourinho took to an unusual and amusing form of protest during Fenerbahce's game against Antalyaspor.
Jose Mourinho is known as the special one and that nickname is perfectly apt for the seasoned manager. Recently, Mourinho was relieved of his duties as the manager of the Italian side Roma. He then went to the Turkish league to join Fenerbahce as their manager. Jose Mourinho is known for several things around the football world, from his excellent coaching record to his theatrics against the referees and other teams. During Fenerbahce's game against Antalyaspor, Mourinho took to a new tactic to protest the referee's decision.
Mourinho Protests In Amusing Manner
During Fenerbahce's game against Antalyaspor, Jose Mourinho's side Fenerbahce was leading by 1-0. Their first goal had come at the hands of Dusan Tadic who had put his side ahead in the 63rd minute. Fenerbahce then looked to double their lead as Dzeko scored a second goal to put his side ahead.
Unfortunately, VAR disallowed Dzeko's goal and the score was reset to 1-0. To protest this decision, Jose Mourinho took his laptop with a screenshot of the offside line and kept it in front of the TV camera next to his bench.
The Athletic's James Horncastle took to X to share more insights into Mourinho's protest.
“Mourinho protests refereeing decision by taking a laptop with a still and perceived injustice and placing it in front of a camera while the game continues,” said Horncastle via social media platform X.
Jose Mourinho was handed a yellow card for his protest against the decision as Fenerbahce ultimately went on to win 2-0 after an own goal by Thalisson Kelven.
