During Fenerbahce’s 3-1 victory over Gaziantep, manager Jose Mourinho was involved in a bizarre moment when he dragged his assistant coach by the neck to stop him from celebrating.
What Happened?
With just 12 minutes left in the match, Rodrigo Becao scored to put Fenerbahce ahead in a crucial game. The goal sparked wild celebrations on the touchline as players and staff huddled together in excitement.
However, Mourinho had other plans. Instead of joining the celebration, he spotted his assistant, Zeki Murat Gole, caught up in the excitement. Mourinho needed him to prepare for a defensive substitution to protect their lead.
In a dramatic move, Mourinho pulled his assistant by the hoody, dragging him out of the crowd and back to the dugout.
The Match and Its Importance
