Galatasaray boss Okan Buruk says Jose Mourinho can “keep crying” after the Fenerbahce manager complained to the officials following their 0-0 draw.
WHAT HAPPENED?
After the feisty goalless draw at Galatasaray in this Turkish league top-of-the-table clash on Monday, Fenerbahce boss Mourinho was spotted heading into referee Slavko Vincic’s room. That promoted Buruk to say the Portuguese is not ‘The Special One, merely “The Crying One”.
WHAT OKAN BURUK SAID
He told reporters after the game: “Mourinho took a long time to cry! The Crying One… He is famous for crying. He went into the referee’s room and cried! Let him keep crying!”

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Buruk’s comments refer to Galatasaray’s ongoing trolling of Mourinho, who has repeatedly fired shots at their players. While the ex-Chelsea boss did not like the officiating in the draw, his side are six points behind league leaders Galatasaray as they missed a big opportunity to close the gap on their rivals.
