Leaked Messages About Jose Mourinho Leads to Mass Resignations in Turkey

Every member of Turkey’s professional football disciplinary committee has resigned after a Whatsapp chain of messages about Jose Mourinho was leaked online. The Special One has always been a controversial figure. His passion for football is clear for all to see and the bonds he builds with players and fanbases wherever he goes is unlike anyone else.

He’s never been afraid to speak his mind, though, which has also earned him a few enemies over the years. He’s gone after rival managers, sometimes his own players and even officials. No one is safe when it comes to the former Chelsea coach. His move to Fenerbahce in 2024 is no different. He’s brought all the usual fireworks with him and after his antics rubbed the disciplinary committee the wrong way, they started a text chain talking about him.

He responded by announcing his intention to sue them for the accusation.

Fenerbahce have since responded to the Whatsapp messages that have leaked with an official club statement. As quoted by talkSPORT, they said:
