- Fenerbahce coach clashed with Galatasaray’s Okan Buruk
- Stuttgart sink Leipzig to book place in DFB-Pokal final
José Mourinho appeared to grab rival manager Okan Buruk’s nose amid wild scenes at the end of Fenerbahce’s 2-1 Turkish Cup defeat to bitter rivals Galatasaray.
Video footage showed Mourinho appearing to pinch Buruk’s nose following the final whistle, with the Galatasaray head coach falling to the pitch and holding his face in his hands. Buruk was left lying on his back as Mourinho was dragged away, following an ill-tempered game where three players were red-carded from the bench.
