Jose Mourinho is no stranger to controversy and his latest antics have once again grabbed headlines. The Portuguese manager, who is currently in charge of AS Roma, was caught on camera playfully pinching the nose of Galatasaray coach Fatih Terim during a recent friendly match.
The incident occurred during a friendly match between AS Roma and Galatasaray as part of the club’s pre-season preparations. As the two managers greeted each other before the match, Mourinho reached out and pinched Terim’s nose in a playful manner. The gesture took Terim by surprise, but he managed to laugh it off and the two went on to watch the match from the sidelines.
While some fans found the incident amusing, others criticized Mourinho for his unprofessional behavior. Many felt that the gesture was disrespectful and showed a lack of sportsmanship. However, others defended Mourinho, arguing that it was just a harmless joke between two colleagues.
This is not the first time Mourinho has been involved in such antics. Throughout his career, he has been known for his fiery personality and eccentric behavior on the sidelines. From poking the eye of Barcelona assistant coach Tito Vilanova to kicking water bottles in frustration, Mourinho has never been afraid to make headlines for his actions.
Despite the controversy surrounding him, Mourinho remains one of the most successful and respected managers in the world of football. With multiple league titles, domestic cups, and Champions League trophies to his name, his track record speaks for itself. However, his behavior off the pitch continues to divide opinions among fans and pundits alike.
As for the incident with Terim, both managers have downplayed the situation and moved on. Terim took to social media to share a photo of the two of them laughing together, showing that there are no hard feelings between them. Whether you love him or hate him, one thing is for sure – Mourinho will always find a way to keep football fans talking.
