Fenerbahce, José Mourinho gets in trouble

José Mourinho on the gridiron after Fenerbahce's ugly home defeat in the Europa League against Athletic Bilbao. After the 2-0 defeat, fans of the Istanbul team put the Portuguese coach and President Ali Koç in their sights, calling for both to resign.

The knockout with the Basques follows the disastrous defeat against Besiktas that pushed Fenerbahce away from the top of the league by six points. On social media the Special One è has been harshly attacked and many want his farewell.

Mourinho after the game commented this way on the knockout: "If we play the game ten times, eight times we win, one we draw and one we lose. This è that game".

The Portuguese coach asked for patience: "I don’t comment on the reaction of the fans. I don’t throw my players under the bus. We have to keep calm. Our absentees will come back. We have games ahead of us. We are in a transition period for the goals we want to achieve in the future".
