Galatasaray, the current leaders in Turkey's top football league, have announced plans to pursue criminal proceedings against Fenerbahce coach, Jose Mourinho, for alleged racist remarks made following a goalless draw between the two rival teams.

The 62-year-old Portuguese coach, who joined Fenerbahce from Roma last year, has a history of provocative comments. Earlier this season, he faced penalties for critiquing Turkish match officials.

Mourinho's recent statements, where he praised a foreign referee while disparaging Turkish officials, have ignited further controversy. Galatasaray vows to escalate the issue to UEFA and FIFA, highlighting the seriousness of the allegations.
