'I felt disrespected' - Jose Mourinho seethes over 75-minute press conference delay following Fenerbahce's Istanbul derby defeat to Galatasaray

Mourinho's Fenerbahce were beaten 3-1 at home against Galatasaray in the Super Lig on Sunday - their first league defeat since the Portuguese took charge of the Istanbul giants ahead of the new season.

Mourinho has complained about the treatment he received after the game in his team's own stadium, as he said he was prevented from holding his post-match press conference, which resulted in him getting a fine. The ex-Manchester United boss says he wanted to speak to reporters, but was disrespected instead.

"In 24 years of football, I never in my life escaped from a press conference especially after a defeat. I never had fear of any journalist, any question or any press conference," he said at a press conference ahead of his team's Europa League match against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.

"So, it wouldn't be with you that I was going to change my way of being. That doesn't have any logic to be waiting 75 minutes to go to a press conference. The game finished, I congratulate the opposing coach, I went directly to the flash interview, and then I was 70 minutes waiting to go to the press conference. I tried to go, I was not allowed to go, I was in the door of the press conference trying to go, I was not allowed to go. So it has nothing to do with the result, it has nothing to do with anything, it has only to do with something that is either correct or not correct."

He added: "I'm sorry, but its a lack of respect. So if anybody felt disrespected, I am the one that felt disrespected."

The Turkish giants will hope to get their Europa League campaign off to a strong start when they face the Belgian side at home on Thursday.
