BANNED: Mourinho punished for nose-grabbing incident

Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has been punished by  the Turkish Football Federation for grabbing the nose of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk.

The crazy incident took place after the  Istanbul Derby on Wednesday evening, after a scuffle broke out between the player opposition players.

Mourinho was then seen grabbing Buruk's nose, with the Galatasaray coaching throwing himself to the ground.

The Portuguese tactician has now received a three-game ban and handed a fine of £6,000.

"This was a planned provocation [by Buruk] and as part of this plan the individual acted as if he had been 'shot' and fell to the ground in a professional manner, and his disrespectful words and actions are documented on video," the statement read.

"The absurdity of someone who is touched on the nose immediately throwing himself to the ground and writhing for seconds is clear to the public.

"It is evident that this individual's tendency to fall to the ground, seen during his playing days, continues in his coaching career, showing that this behaviour is a characteristic attitude."
