José Mourinho is taking Türkiye by storm in his first season at the head of Fenerbahce and the Portuguese manager just gave us another clip to add to his never-ending file of iconic moments. He needs to practice his knee slides.
During Fenerbahçe’s Turkish Süper Lig away match against Trabzonspor on Sunday, the closing minutes of the game saw both clubs looking for the three points through a momentary 2-2 result.
José Mourinho is expected to recover after suffering a crunching tackle during a training session with Fenerbahce.
“The Special One” posted a video to Instagram of him getting taken out during a drill. Midfielder Ismail Yuksek collided with the Portuguese manager who then needed help from players to limp off the field.
In the video Mourinho can been seen wearing white long sleeves in the middle of the training exercise when he gets unintentionally tackled from behind.

ISTANBUL — Fenerbahce coach José Mourinho was sent off as his side drew 1-1 with his former club Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday after Christian Eriksen’s early goal was canceled out by Youssef En-Nesyri.
United keeper Andre Onana pulled off a stunning acrobatic double save just before halftime to deny Fenerbahce and keep the dominant hosts from equalizing.

We just witnessed another classic Mourinho moment.
Jose Mourinho, one of the most successful managers in history, also known for his crazy antics and unique personality, has gone viral once again for his reaction to a refereeing mistake during a Süper Lig match in Türkiye.
Watch: Jose Mourinho laptop protest following wrong offside call
The Portuguese manager, who began managing historic Turkish club, Fenerbahçe, this summer, was not happy with an offside call that denied his team from doubling their lead against Antalyaspor on Sunday.
Fenerbahce will consider withdrawing from the Turkish top flight after some of their players were attacked by Trabzonspor fans following their weekend away win, the Super Lig club said on Monday.
Trabzonspor supporters stormed the pitch and brawled with security forces and Fenerbahce players after their team lost 3-2 on Sunday in the latest incident in a league that has been marred by controversy this season.
Fenerbahce fight with Trabzonspor fans
Dynamo Kyiv defeated Turkish side Fenerbahçe 2-1 on Wednesday to advance to the third round of qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. What should have been a joyous moment for the Ukraine club was marred by Fenerbahçe fans chanting “Vladimir Putin” at the Dynamo Kyiv players.
Wednesday’s game was an intense contest that saw a Fenerbahçe player sent off in the 53rd minute and then a game-winning goal for Dynamo Kyiv in the 114th minute. The Putin chants came in the 57th minute after Ukrainian midfielder Vitaliy Buyalskyi scored the game’s opening goal.
Sunday’s Intercontinental Derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe featured two sides that are struggling to keep pace with the top of the Süper Lig, but it’s always a monumental occasion when the European side of Istanbul clashes with the Asian.
The scene at Galatasaray’s NEF Stadium was electric before kick-off, with players entering the pitch to one of this season’s greatest tifos. If there’s a contest going on without a reference to Squid Game these days, did a contest really even take place?
The new Puma third kits that dropped this week have many fans talking. Not good talking I might add. If you haven’t seen the latest design from the geniuses working at Puma, then feast your eyes on these bad boys.

ANKARA — A Turkish court on Friday sentenced a media executive and a former police chief to more than 1,000 years each in prison for conspiring to bring match-fixing charges against top soccer club Fenerbahçe.
Fenerbahçe's president was jailed for match-fixing a decade ago and the club was barred from playing in European competitions for two seasons, but the case was reopened after prosecutors said it was founded on a conspiracy.
ANKARA - Broadcaster beIN SPORTS has taken legal action to stop Fenerbahçe players wearing doctored versions of the company logo as part of the Turkish soccer club's protests against what it says is beIN's biased coverage of its matches.
Two beIN sources said the company launched the legal action on Wednesday at a Turkish intellectual property court to stop the club using the protest logo "beFAIR”. One of the sources said further legal action was being prepared.
