Mourinho Sues Galatasaray Over Racist Scandal

The scandal involving Fenerbahçe's head coach José Mourinho shows no signs of abating as the Portuguese has taken legal action.

Details: The "Canaries" press service announced that Mourinho has filed a lawsuit against Galatasaray for 1,907,000 Turkish lira (over $50,000) as moral compensation for the infringement of personal rights. Details of the lawsuit have not been disclosed.

Recall: After a 0-0 draw in the Istanbul derby, Mourinho referred to the opponent's coaching staff as "monkeys" during the post-match press conference, prompting Galatasaray to file a complaint. As a result, the Portuguese has been suspended for four matches.

Fenerbahçe intends to appeal this decision. If the appeal is not granted, Mourinho will be absent from the bench during matches against Antalyaspor, Samsunspor, Bodrum, and Trabzonspor.
