Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has claimed that he did not attend the post-match press conference after their 3-1 Istanbul derby loss to Galatasaray on Saturday because he “felt disrespected”.
Mourinho says he was made to wait over an hour to speak to journalists.
The loss was Fenerbahce’s first Super Lig defeat of the season and leaves them trailing Galatasaray by five points.
However, Mourinho has insisted that his snubbing media duties had nothing to do with the result.
“In 24 years of football, I never in my life escaped from a press conference, especially after a defeat,” Mourinho said.
“I never had fear of any journalist, any question or any press conference.
“So [it] wouldn’t be with you that I was going to change my way of being.”
Mourinho added that he shook Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk’s hand after the match and proceeded to do the flash interview conducted shortly after.
