Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho has been in charge for 9 months and has made headlines with 8 cards. This situation has led him to receive more cards than any of the 23 players in his team. If Mourinho receives 3 more cards, he will surpass his own record of 10 cards set during the 2022-2023 season at Roma. Due to cards and disciplinary penalties, Mourinho has not been able to lead his team in 5 matches this season.
Jose Mourinho, who has been in charge of Fenerbahçe for 9 months, continues to be in the spotlight due to the incidents he has been involved in and the cards he has received. The Portuguese coach received a red card for squeezing Okan Buruk's nose after losing to Galatasaray, which led to his elimination in the quarter-finals of the Ziraat Turkey Cup. Additionally, a striking detail has emerged.
HE LEFT 23 PLAYERS BEHIND WITH 8 CARDS RECEIVED
Mourinho has accumulated 8 cards, consisting of 6 yellow and 2 red. The 62-year-old coach, who previously commented, "I am not an expert in this intentionally," has received more cards than his 23 players in the yellow-blue team.
3 CARDS AWAY FROM HIS OWN RECORD
Jose Mourinho was no different during his time at Roma before Fenerbahçe. The Portuguese coach, who worked for 2.5 seasons with the Italian team, received 6 cards in the 2021-2022 season, 10 in the 2022-2023 season, and 4 in the half season of 2023-2024 when he was dismissed. The experienced coach has been penalized a total of 20 times with 13 yellow and 6 red cards. With 8 cards received at Fenerbahçe, Mourinho will surpass his own record of 10 cards received at Roma in the 2022-2023 season if he receives 3 more cards.
HE COULDN'T LEAD HIS TEAM IN 5 MATCHES
The 62-year-old coach has been unable to lead his team in 5 matches this season due to cards and disciplinary penalties while in charge of Fenerbahçe. Mourinho was in the stands for the matches against AZ Alkmaar in the UEFA Europa League, Midtjylland, Göztepe, Sivasspor in the Trendyol Super League, and Gaziantep FK in the Ziraat Turkey Cup.
