The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has handed Portuguese and Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho a four-match ban.
The federation also fined Mourinho more than €40,000 for comments he made after an explosive Istanbul derby against Galatasaray.
After Monday’s game ended in a 0-0 stalemate, the 62-year-old Mourinho said the home bench had been “jumping like monkeys.”
He also reportedly repeated his criticism of Turkish referees.
In detail, the TFF Disciplinary Council handed down a two-match suspension for his comments against the fourth referee and two additional matches for his remarks about the Galatasaray bench.
Mourinho is known for his controversial remarks at various clubs and leagues where he has worked.
