Jose Mourinho (Fenerbahçe), Okan Buruk (Galatasaray)
2 April Turkish Cup quarterfinal

Jose Mourinho grabbed rival coach Okan Buruk’s nose during a post-match melee, triggering a dramatic reaction and escalating tensions. Buruk dropped to the ground holding his face, calling it “not very stylish,” while Galatasaray’s VP condemned it as an attack on Turkish football.
The incident followed a heated match marred by a late-game brawl that saw three players sent off. Galatasaray mocked Mourinho online, reigniting their feud after previous accusations of racism and a prior suspension.
