Jose Mourinho has filed a defamation lawsuit against Galatasaray after being accused of racism by the Turkish champions following a heated Istanbul derby.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly suing Galatasaray after he was accused of making "racist statements" following their goalless draw earlier this week.

Jose Mourinho has been banned for four matches and fined after comments he made following his Fenerbahce side’s match against Istanbul rivals Galatasaray. Galatasaray accused Mourinho of making “racist statements” after Monday’s 0-0 draw and said that the club intended to initiate criminal proceedings against him.
