Mourinho‘s side slumped to a goalless draw at home to 10-man Samsunspor in the weekend following their European exit at the hands of the Light Blues.
They trail eternal foes Galatasaray in the league by six points and it was they who knocked Fener out of the cup tonight in a typically bad-tempered derby clash.
Fenerbahce hosted the quarter-final tie at their Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul but it was the visitors who grabbed the early initiative.
Napoli loanee Victor Osimhen put them ahead after just 10 minutes and he doubled his and his team’s account from the penalty spot in the 27th minute.
Sebastian Szymański pulled one back for the home side in first-half stoppage time but they were unable to penetrate the Gala back line in a frustrating second half.
The referee added on 14 MINUTES of stoppage time, in no small part because of THREE red cards in the 92 minute.
Barış Alper Yılmaz and Kemer Demirbay were sent off for Galatasaray while Mert Hakan Yandaş saw red for Fenerbahce.
What made the dismissals even more bizarre was the fact none of them were even on the pitch at the time…
But still, it was Mourinho in the spotlight come full-time.
The 62-year-old stormed up to opposite number Okan Buruk after the game had ended and appeared to grab his nose as she shouted angrily in his direction.
After pulling at Buruk’s face, Mourinho watched as the Galatasaray boss fell to the ground and clutched his face after letting out a yelp and it wasn’t long before riot police were on the scene as members of staff and players from both sides rushed to the incident.
Galatasary will face Konyaspor in the semi-finals of the cup with Trabzonspor to play the winner of Besiktas versus Goztepe.
