Fenerbahce paid a heavy price for Mourinho.

The negative image of Jose Mourinho grabbing Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk's nose has plunged Fenerbahce's management into crisis.

Mourinho may have to leave Fenerbahce.

The incident during this week's Turkish derby has tarnished Mourinho's image in the eyes of fans. Besides the likely 10-match touchline ban from the Turkish Football Federation, the "Special One's" future at Fenerbahce is also in serious doubt.

According to internal sources at Fenerbahce, some members of the club's board are demanding the dismissal of the Portuguese coach. They argue that Mourinho's behavior towards coach Okan Buruk is unacceptable and damages the team's reputation.

However, Fenerbahce would suffer significant financial losses if they sacked Mourinho now. His contract with the Turkish club has more than two years remaining, with compensation amounting to tens of millions of euros. According to estimates from AS , Fenerbahce could have to pay up to 40 million euros in compensation to Mourinho and his coaching staff if they dismissed them at this time.

Fenerbahce chairman Ali Koc will have the final say. The Fenerbahce head has yet to respond regarding Mourinho's future. Previously, Fenerbahce's media team also caused controversy by issuing a message supporting the head coach without consulting Ali Koc.

"Our coach only lightly touched the opponent's nose in response to provocations, and the other man fell to the ground ridiculously. This man (Coach Okan Buruk), a former professional player who is very good at faking fouls, had made disrespectful remarks beforehand and then collapsed as if shot to continue his provocation plan," the controversial message from Fenerbahce read.

"The way this person jumped and writhed for a few seconds after being touched on the nose is something the public is aware of," Fenerbahce's media team added. This message not only angered Galatasaray, but also caused dissatisfaction among many within Fenerbahce itself.

Some members of the Fenerbahce board believe that Mourinho's behavior was unprofessional and damaged the club's image in the eyes of the public. Fenerbahce's media team was also wrong to defend such uncontrolled behavior from the head coach.
