Mourinho’s ban for ‘racist comments’ reduced by half

Fenerbahçe manager José Mourinho has had his four-match suspension halved and his fine reduced from ₺1.6m (£35,000) to ₺558,000 (£12,200).

This follows a successful appeal by the Turkish Süper Lig club.

Mourinho was handed the punishment over remarks that were deemed ‘racist’.

The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was also accused of making derogatory comments about Turkish referees and football following Monday’s 0-0 draw with Galatasaray.

Although the match was refereed by Slovenian official Slavko Vinčić, Mourinho criticised Turkish referees in the post-match press conference.

Mourinho will now miss Sunday’s match against Antalyaspor, having already sat out a Turkish Cup game.

Fenerbahçe are second in the Süper Lig, six points behind Galatasaray.
