The punishment for Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho’s “smells bad” tirade directed at VAR official Atilla Karaoglan following their victory against Trabzonspor has been handed down.

Sofyan Ambrabat’s goal in the 12th minute of stoppage time gave Mourinho’s team the victory.

Despite gaining three points, the former manager of Chelsea and Manchester United was not happy, claiming that Trabzonspor was given preferential treatment by the VAR officials, especially because the home team was given two controversial penalties.

The Turkish Football Federation, or TFF, has now made the decision to punish Mourinho with more punishments and a hefty fine.

TFF issued a statement, saying: “The post-match flash interview and press conference are evaluated as a whole; the statements in question are contrary to sportsmanship, sports ethics or the concept of fair play, damage the reputation of the TFF, aim to diminish the value of Turkish football, cast a shadow over the impartiality of the referees and other match officials, and are therefore punished with a discretionary fine of 900,000 TL (£20,178) in accordance with Article 38/4-a of the FDT due to Unsportsmanlike Statements.”

Along with a one-match ban that prevented him from using the touchline or dressing room, Mourinho also received an additional punishment of about £1,300.
