Jose Mourinho punished for extraordinary laptop protest after Fenerbahce disallowed goal
Former Chelsea and Manchester United boss Mourinho has made a name for himself when it comes to extraordinary touchline behaviour and he did so again on Sunday.
The Fenerbahce head coach disagreed with an offside call during the game, as Edin Dzeko’s strike was ruled out, and decided to pick up his laptop and place it in front of a TV camera, seemingly trying to prove that the official’s decision was incorrect.
Mourinho was subsequently booked by the referee, and his side went on to win the game. He was recently fined for missing a press conference, as he continues to be antagonistic towards the authorities in whichever league he is managing in.
Fener are currently second in the Super Lig, with 16 points from seven games. They are three points behind unbeaten leaders Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce play FC Twente in the Europa League on Thursday. They will then return to domestic action against Samsunspor next weekend as Mourinho seeks to add to his bulging trophy cabinet with a successful debut season in Turkey.
