Last week, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer led Besiktas to victory against so far unbeaten Galatasary. Jose Mourinho leads Fenerbahce in the title race with Galatasaray, but this season has a draw and a loss against their city rival. On Tuesday, the stage was set for a cup match between Fernebahce and Galatasaray, where the Besiktas management also received confirmation that Solskjaer is above Mourinho.
Galatasaray won 1-2 over Fenerbahce, in a boiling atmosphere on the pitch and in the stands. It got so hot towards the end that the referee pulled up the red card three times. However, what happened after the final whistle surpassed everything.

Fenerbahce coach Mourinho got into a clinch with Galatasarays coach Okan Buruk, where Buruk went to the ground. Several security guards and players ran up to Mourinho and led the angry Portuguese off the pitch.
We let Galatasaray’s vice-president, Metin Ozturk, tell his side of the story.
“Mourinho first attacked our coach verbally and then physically. Where else in the world can he do that? What does he think about Turkey? I believe that Fenerbahce’s management will introduce the necessary sanction before the federation does,” the vice president said, according to The Guardian.

Mourinho lost to Galatasaray and is in constant trouble with referees, players, coaches and journalists. On Tuesday, he crossed a line that will hamper Fenerbahce in the battle for the league title.

Jose Mourinho sees himself as The Special One, we choose Ole Gunnar Solskjaer seven days a week as the best manager. The Besiktas management is sure to do the same.
