    Mourinho's Fenerbahce were on the receiving end of a 3-1 defeat at home to rivals Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig on Saturday. Dominik Livakovic's own goal gave the visitors the lead and Dries Mertens made it 2-0 in the 28th minute. Gabriel Sara added a third in the second half, rendering Edin Dzeko's penalty moments later a mere consolation.

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Mourinho wasn't happy at full-time and ditched his post-game press conference. Galatasaray very much enjoyed the Portuguese coach's frustration, sharing multiple posts on social media mocking the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss. One post featured a photoshopped image of a book titled 'The Crying One', with Mourinho in tears on the front cover.

    "On sale in stores around Kadıköy," Galatasaray's message on the post read.

  • TELL ME MORE

    A rather brave journalist attempted to show Mourinho the post on his phone as the 61-year-old left the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium. "Are you serious or are you joking?", the irritated coach replied before storming away.
