This week, the Fenerbahce boss took things to another level when he was seen pinching the nose of Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk at full-time.

The match was filled with tension, with three players receiving red cards. While it remains unclear what triggered Mourinho's unusual behavior, the nose pinch only added to the drama.
After the game, Galatasaray boss Buruk addressed the incident via the club's official website; "There was nothing between me [and Mourinho].
"I just congratulated the referees. He had also gone to congratulate the referees. While I was continuing, he pinched my nose from behind. It was a slight scratch.
"It's not a very nice or stylish thing. We want to stay in the game. We especially want and expect the behaviour of the technical staff to be more correct here.
"I won't exaggerate this, but it's not a very stylish thing. We should have shaken each other's hands before the match. Unfortunately, we couldn't experience that. It's not a big deal. I won't exaggerate this."
