Galatasaray, preparing to face Liverpool in the second week of the Champions League, has been in the spotlight due to head coach Okan Buruk's interview with the English media outlet The Athletic. Buruk's remarks about Jose Mourinho and his comments regarding the nose-pulling incident have caused a significant stir.
"I WANT TO WORK OUTSIDE OF TURKEY"
Okan Buruk spoke about his career goals, stating, "Being in the Champions League this year is very important for both my career and Galatasaray. I want to work outside of Turkey. The Premier League is a huge challenge for coaches. But most importantly, I want to be the head coach of Galatasaray and win championships. I joined the Galatasaray youth team at the age of 11, and now I am 51 years old, coaching this team. If I continue like this, I hope we will break more records."
HE CLARIFIED THE NOSE-PULLING INCIDENT
Buruk also recounted the nose-pulling incident with Mourinho, saying, "I was like a player, I fell to the ground. I exaggerated a bit. I didn't expect such a thing from him. I was shaking hands with the referees, going to the other side to celebrate our victory, and he came to me. Normally, we would shake hands after the match."
"HE HAS NOT DEVELOPED AS A COACH"
Making striking comments about the Portuguese coach, Buruk stated, "He can't focus like he used to. His perspective on football has changed. He has never changed his style as a coach. He is an important character, has great charisma, but we need to improve ourselves every year in terms of football. Perhaps his problem is that he has not developed as a coach."
