da bet vitoria: José Mourinho’s well-travelled career has seen him enjoy spells in England, Italy, Spain and now Turkey. He was announced as the Fenerbahce manager in June.
da blaze casino: Perhaps the only surprise was that Mourinho took so long to reach Turkey, especially given his antics over the years.
It hasn’t taken him long to start controversy in the country. After beating Trabzonspor in November, Mourinho went on a lengthy rant about corruption, also claiming that “nobody wants to watch the Turkish league abroad”. A solid way to make an impression indeed.
His spell with AS Roma may have seen the club win the Conference League in 2022, but aside from that, it wasn’t the most productive of spells.

9 of the best Jose Mourinho quotes
The Special One has had a way with words over the years.
ByBarney Lane Dec 2, 2024 8 Showing defensive skills at Soccer Aid Coach takes out Olly Murs at Old Trafford
Jose Mourinho
One of Mourinho’s most laughable moments came outside his professional capacity. In 2014, he was in charge of the Rest of the World side against England at Soccer Aid.
After just nine minutes, the then-Chelsea boss delivered one of the best moments in the history of the event by wiping out singer Olly Murs with a tackle from the sidelines.
It was all taken in good humour, with the manager drawing massive cheers from the crowd as he made his way back to the dugout with a huge smile.
7 Hiding in a laundry bin Mourinho evades UEFA protocol to deliver team talk
Arriving in England as a self-proclaimed “Special One”, Mourinho had plenty to prove. With a Premier League title just a few wins away, the manager displayed his shrewd side when the Blues faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
He had received a two-match ban from the previous round, which meant he was barred from appearing on the touchline at Stamford Bridge against the German giants. Not one to be told what to do, it was later revealed that Mourinho had snuck into the changing rooms in a washing basket to deliver pre-match and half-time team talks.
His assistant was wearing a hat and regularly touching his ear, indicating a hidden earpiece, obviously communicating with his boss, who was taking refuge in a local leisure centre (or so we thought):
“I went there and nobody saw me. The problem was to leave after. And Stewart Bannister the kit man put me in the basket. It was a little bit open so I could breathe.
“But when he is taking it outside the dressing room, the UEFA guys were following and desperate to find me so he closed the box and I couldn’t breathe! When he opened the box I was dying! I am serious! I was claustrophobic, I promise! It’s true!”
6 Running down the touchline at Old Trafford Last-minute goal sparks iconic celebration
Jose Mourinho
Mourinho’s spell at Porto made him one of the most sought-after bosses in Europe. The Portuguese coach led the club to a treble during his first full season, before leading them to another league title and the Champions League crown in 2003/04.
During the second leg of their Champions League clash with Manchester United that year, Porto were on the verge of going out on away goals. Costinha stepped up to score in the 89th minute to seal their passage to the last eight.
Mourinho sprinted down the touchline to celebrate with his players, giving fans packed into Old Trafford a preview of what was to come a few months later.
5 Wearing a wire at Roma Playful Jose looks to catch officials out
AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho once wore a wire during his time with Roma. In 2023, his club drew 1-1 with Monza, and during his post-match press conference, the Portuguese boss claimed he wore it to protect himself from referees.
“I’m not stupid, you know,” said Mourinho. “Today, I went to the game with a microphone. I recorded everything. From the moment I left the locker room to the moment I returned. I protected myself.”
It was a sign that Mourinho had moved into new territory as his career began to fizzle out.
4 Nearly coming to blows with Marco Ianni Chelsea coach incenses Mourinho on Stamford Bridge return
Towards the end of his spell in charge of Man Utd, the club conceded a late goal against Chelsea, having led late on.
Mourinho was naturally disappointed in the dugout, but when Chelsea assistant coach Marco Ianni ran down the touchline punching the air, the United boss’ demeanour changed.
He ended up chasing the Italian down the dugout before being stopped by stewards, and it was later shown that Ianni had run back and screamed in Mourinho’s direction, sparking the United boss into a frenzy.
3 "Respect, respect, respect" United boss fires back after heavy defeat
After United were defeated 3-0 by Tottenham Hotspur in August 2018, Mourinho delivered one of his most famous press conference moments.
When pressed on the fact many supporters left before the end, the manager said: “Do you know what the result was? Three-nil. Do you know what this means (holding up three fingers)?
“Three-nil, but it also means three Premier Leagues and I won more alone than the other 19 managers together. Three for me and two for them.”
He then left the media centre repeating “respect, respect, respect”, and it was evident that his time at United was drawing to a close.
2 Using a laptop to protest a decision Mourinho takes issue with refereeing decision
It didn’t take long for Mourinho to cause controversy in Turkey. When Fenerbahçe had a goal ruled out for offside against league rivals Antalyaspor in September 2024, Mourinho placed his laptop in front of the broadcaster’s ground camera with a still image of the decision in what was an obvious sign of protest.
Naturally, he was given a yellow card as his Machiavellian ways continued in Istanbul.
1 Poking Tito Vilanova in the eye Mourinho resorts to violence
One of Mourinho’s craziest moments came during his spell with Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.
During a Spanish Super Cup tie in the 2011/12 campaign, Mourinho poked Barcelona assistant Tito Vilanova in the eye as the two sides created a scuffle following a poor tackle by Marcelo on Cesc Fabregas.
Mourinho was subsequently given a ban for his actions and later apologised, saying: “I was the one in the wrong, I shouldn’t have done what I did. Of course not, that negative image stays forever. Tito had nothing to do with it. I apologise to him.”
Out of everything Mourinho has gotten up to during his managerial career, this is perhaps the craziest.
Pakistan captain refuses to blame injuries and pitches for side’s barren run
Danyal Rasool06-Jan-2023
Babar Azam lamented a disappointing home Test season•AFP
The thrill of securing a draw in the dark may provide its own endorphin rush, but Babar Azam was lucid enough to see the bigger picture. The Pakistan captain has acknowledged his side had not met expectations during the home Test season, which came to a close with a 0-0 draw in this second Test.”The Test season hasn’t gone according to expectations,” Babar said at the post-match press conference. “It’s not an excuse but some of our players were unfit which disturbed our combination. Of course there’s talk about the pitches, but conditions are different at every venue. We give our input on pitches, but you get the pitches you get, and after that you have to execute your plans. You can’t just complain about losing a match because of pitches. We prepared them according to our plans, but results didn’t go our way.”After a 3-0 defeat to England last month, Pakistan found themselves on the back foot for large parts of both Test matches against New Zealand. On the final day of each match, the home side was happier to shake on a draw. In the first Test, New Zealand needed 77 runs with nine wickets in hand when light intervened, whereas today, the visitors needed just one wicket when the umpires whipped off the bails. Extend it further back to the series against Australia, and Pakistan have now gone eight Test matches at home without victory in a run that extends back two years.Related

For Sarfaraz, the job's not done yet, redemption is still just out of reach
Fantastic Sarfaraz ton not enough as bad light has final say in Karachi thriller
Sarfaraz rates sensational Karachi century as his best
It might easily have been three successive home series defeats when Sarfaraz Ahmed was squeezed down leg side in the 87th over. It brought out Pakistan’s No. 11 Abrar Ahmed to survive a nerve-shredding final 15 minutes alongside Naseem Shah, with the pair seeing out 21 balls before it became too dark.”It’s difficult to play the new ball when the fielders are up but Naseem and Abrar held their nerve at the death,” Babar said. “The way Saifi [Sarfaraz] came back and got us out of a hole was amazing, because his partnership with [Saud] Shakeel brought us back into the match. He’s come back after four years and had a dream comeback, after waiting all those years. It was his belief that kept him going.”At the start of that session, though, it was tantalisingly poised. Sarfaraz and Saud Shakeel had added 99 for the sixth-wicket stand. New Zealand’s fast bowlers appeared to have run out of ideas, but the scoring rate for the stand stood at just under 2.25, which meant Pakistan still required 140 runs in a final session where all four results seemed possible.Babar said Pakistan were eyeing up the win at that point. “We’d planned to go after it at tea, and you have to take risks for that. At the time, we needed 4.5 [an over], for which you need to take chances, which can lead to dismissals. If we’d got out, you’d be asking very different questions. When New Zealand saw we were going for it, they opened the field up. We still took chances but then it becomes a slightly different situation.Sarfaraz, who had crossed three figures by this point, was now accompanied by Agha Salman; his strike rate was higher than any other Pakistan batter at that point. He had struck four boundaries and New Zealand were beginning to look a touch ragged in the field, a couple of misfields and the odd set of byes whittling down the target even further. However, once Matt Henry got the old ball to swing back in and beat a wild swing from Salman, the outlook changed once more.”Agha got out and then the tail came in; after that we wanted to take the game deep,” Babar said. “Saifi was in there so he was better at assessing where the game could go. When a wicket falls, building a new partnership is difficult. After our set batters got out, we knew the tail was coming, and we’ve lost our last few wickets quickly in the past.”In the end, though, pragmatism won even though Pakistan were desperate not to end the home season winless. Babar admitted the way forward from here could take time, he pointed out this Test side was “very good” until very recently, when injuries derailed them at the start of this season.It prompted him to emphasise the value of fitness in an age of relentless cricket. “We’re trying to learn from our mistakes,” Babar said. “Everyone has their own opinions but we have to focus on our performance. Forming a team takes time. Our Test side was very good, but suddenly there were a few injuries, which disturbed our players and altered the form of our side. We’ve tried to do our best but it just hasn’t worked out. We’ll look at whether to have Test specialist players in future. There’s so much cricket if you want to play all three formats you’ll have to be ultra-fit.”

da fazobetai: Chelsea managed their most impressive victory of the season, defeating Tottenham in a 4-3 thriller, after going 2-0 down inside 11 minutes.
da cassino: Two slips from Marc Cucurella saw Spurs take an early 2-0 lead, and all looked lost early on, but Enzo Maresca’s men dug deep, and fought their way back into the game.
Jadon Sancho made it 2-1 in the 17th minute, cutting inside on his right foot and finding the far bottom corner, restoring some calm into the game. But it was in the second half, when Maresca made a tactical tweak, that the Blues went on a rampage, scoring in the 61st minute (Cole Palmer), 73rd minute (Enzo Fernández), and the 84th minute (Palmer), making it 4-2.
Heung-min Son scored a consultation goal in the 96th minute, but Chelsea took all three points, now sitting second in the Premier League with two points of breathing space ahead of Arsenal.
It was the main man himself who had a huge hand in Chelsea’s comeback as Palmer yet again broke a record.
The record-breaking Cole Palmer
Palmer slotted two penalties into the back of the net against Spurs, the second one being a cheeky chip down the middle, setting the new record for most penalties without missing in Premier League history. His 12 consecutive penalties put him one ahead of Yaya Toure, who managed 11.
But it wasn’t just his two goals, the 22-year-old also managed 69 touches in the game, making four key passes, completing three of his six crosses, making two of his three long balls attempted, taking three shots (all on target), and winning eight of his 10 ground duels.
Palmer has now made 17 appearances for the Blues this season, scoring 11 goals and providing six assists in 1,350 minutes played. But, there was one other man who was even better than Palmer against Tottenham, and that is someone who has only made nine appearances this season.

Jadon Sancho's performance in numbers.
Jadon Sancho was awarded an 8/10 match rating by Football London, after scoring the important goal to get Chelsea back in the game, making it 2-1.
Starting on the left for Chelsea, the 24-year-old winger was dangerous throughout, cutting inside on his right foot for the goal, but also finding clever passes into the box, such as the one leading to Caicedo being taken down for a penalty, which Palmer converted to make the game 2-2.

Stats taken from Sofascore
Sancho was “absolutely dazzling” on the evening in the words of one content creator, looking to drive at Pedro Porro every time he got the ball, completing three of his four dribbles (75%), finding clever passes inside to the runners in the box, such as Fernandez, Caicedo, and even Marc Cucurella at one point.
His ability to link play, combine with others in tight spaces, and also provide that moment of quality when applying the final touch (shot or pass), makes him incredibly threatening out wide for Chelsea, and he is clearly impressing Maresca with this.
If Chelsea continue to perform at this level, they are certainly putting themselves in the conversation for the Premier League title race. Whether they go all the way or not remains to be seen, but you can’t count them out based on what they have shown so far this campaign.
The 10 most exciting clashes between Spurs and Chelsea
From The Battle of the Bridge to Spurs’ last piece of silverware…
da heads bet: Tottenham Hotspur have pulled off some eye-catching signings in their history, with Daniel Levy spending big in recent times.
da dobrowin: However, Spurs have also missed out on bringing some world-class players to north London, with Eberechi Eze the latest Tottenham transfer to fall through. With a deal close to being finalised, fierce rivals Arsenal swept in and poached the attacking midfielder frim under Spurs’ nose.
Unfortunately, it hasn’t been just Eze. Tottenham have been pipped to the post or rejected by a plethora of legends, from Cristiano Ronaldo to Kylian Mbappe.
Tottenham's most expensive signings of all time
A detailed look at Spurs’ 10 most expensive signings of all time.
ByCharlie Smith Sep 5, 2025 10 superstars Tottenham Hotspur nearly signed 10 Cristiano Ronaldo
Former Tottenham scout and player Ronny Rosenthal was urging the Spurs to sign Cristiano Ronaldo when he was coming through at Sporting CP.
However, Spurs didn’t listen, with Manchester United landing the Portuguese superstar for just over £12m in 2003.
9 Kylian Mbappe
Back in 2015, a teenage forward by the name of Kylian Mbappe impressed Spurs chiefs for Monaco during a Europa League clash against Tottenham.
Those in north London kept tabs on the Frenchman and were looking to bring him to the club, however, they quickly realised he was out of reach, with Mbappe instead choosing PSG.
8 Diego Maradona
Tottenham legend Teddy Sheringham had two spells with Spurs and once revealed that the club were in talks to sign Diego Maradona.
Ossie Ardiles managed Spurs in 1993-1994 and once told Sheringham he was looking to partner him in attack with Maradona.
7 Rivaldo
Levy missed out on signing Brazilian icon Rivaldo in 2002 when he was on the search for a new club after leaving Barcelona.
Manuel Auset, Rivaldo’s friend and lawyer, said that Spurs offered the then-30-year-old a move to the Premier League, but he instead chose AC Milan.
6 Eden Hazard
Now remembered as a Chelsea legend, Eden Hazard could quite easily have been a Tottenham player when leaving Lille in 2012.
Former Spurs coach Clive Allen admitted that the Belgian star was “keen to come to Tottenham” but instead chose to head to Stamford Bridge.
5 Bruno Fernandes
Mauricio Pochettino and Tottenham made a concrete effort to sign Bruno Fernandes from Sporting CP in 2019.
Fernandes, who eventually moved to England with Man Utd, once revealed he was “really angry” his move to Spurs fell through after being convinced to join by Pochettino.
4 Sadio Mane
Tottenham and Pochettino made Sadio Mane their top target in 2016, however, Spurs were outbid by Liverpool.
The Reds paid £34m for Mane who’d go on to become an Anfield legend, with Tottenham instead using the money that would have gone on the forward for midfielder Moussa Sissoko.

3 Virgil van Dijk
Tottenham had Virgil van Dijk on their shortlist of central defender targets back in 2015 when the Dutchman was still on the books of Celtic.
Instead of signing Van Dijk, though, Spurs brought in Toby Alderweireld from Atletico Madrid, with Van Dijk signing for Southampton the same year.
2 Jack Grealish
Jack Grealish for Aston Villa
At one point, Tottenham thought they were on course to sign Jack Grealish from Aston Villa for just £25m.
Grealish wasn’t happy about the failed transfer to Spurs in 2018, however, three years later, he’d cost Manchester City a then-British record £100m.
1 Luis Diaz
Tottenham were in pole position and pushing to sign Luis Diaz from FC Porto in the 2022 January transfer window before Liverpool hijacked a transfer.
The Reds paid a guaranteed fee of £37.5m for the Colombia international, who would go on to win the Premier League at Anfield before being sold for a profit to Bayern Munich.

وقال توروب في تصريحات للمركز الإعلامي عقب المباراة: “ذكرت أمس أن المباراة ستكون صعبة، وكنا ندرك تمامًا حجم التحدي هنا في الرباط، كان بإمكان الفريقين تحقيق الفوز؛ المنافس حصل على فرص، ونحن أيضًا كانت لدينا فرص واضحة، وفي النهاية خرج اللقاء بالتعادل”.
وأضاف: “لم يخطر ببالنا أن تُحتسب ضدنا ركلة جزاء، لأنها لم تكن موجودة من الأساس، كذلك كان هناك دخول مبكر من بعض اللاعبين إلى منطقة الجزاء، وهذا خطأ واضح عدم وجود تقنية الفار، أمر تحدثت عنه أمس، وهو شيء مؤثر جدًّا، لا أريد الحديث عن التحكيم، لكن هناك خطأين واضحين كلّفا الفريق الكثير”.
وتابع: “الأداء كان أفضل كثيرًا في الشوط الثاني، وكنا قريبين من الفوز رغم صعوبة الأجواء، والمنافس قد يحقق نتائج كبيرة على أرضه بسبب الدعم الهائل من جماهيره، الملعب كان رائعًا، والأجواء عظيمة، لكن لم يعجبني إلقاء الزجاجات داخل الملعب، هذه الأمور تُفسد مشهدًا رائعًا، ولا يجب أن تحدث”.
وشدد على أنه جاء إلى المغرب بحثًا عن الفوز وليس التعادل، مضيفًا: “حضرت من أجل الفوز، لكن في بعض الأحيان تكون الظروف حولك صعبة وتفرض عليك قبول نقطة خارج ملعبك، المهم أننا لم نخرج خاسرين”.
وأشاد المدير الفني بالأجواء خارج الملعب والتنظيم، قائلًا: “هذه أول زيارة لي إلى المغرب، وأنا معجب جدًّا بحسن الاستقبال وجودة الإقامة وروعة الملعب، الشعب المغربي مضياف، وكل شيء كان مثاليًّا”.

Omarzai’s four-wicket haul went in vain for Afghanistan, who were restricted to 147 in the second T20I
Mohammad Isam03-Oct-2025
Jaker Ali and Shamim Hossain’s stand lifted Bangladesh•ACB
Shoriful Islam produced a miserly spell with the ball and added crucial runs with the bat as Bangladesh secured a two-wicket win over Afghanistan in the second T20I in Sharjah. The result gave them an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.Once again, Bangladesh had to recover from a collapse after a strong position in their chase, with Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, and Nurul Hasan playing key roles in the middle order. Shoriful’s all-round contribution proved decisive in a tense finish.Shoriful takes Bangladesh home with batBangladesh slipped from 102 for 4 to 129 for 8 in the space of four overs. Noor Ahmad removed Shamim for 33, before Nasum Ahmed, who looked competent with the bat until he unnecessarily slogged at Rashid Khan, fell in the 16th over. Azmatullah Omarzai removed both Mohammad Saifuddin and Rishad Hossain in the 18th over.Bangladesh needed 19 runs to win in 12 balls, with eight wickets gone, but Nurul Hasan kept them in the hunt. He started the 19th over with a six off Noor, before taking a single. At the time, it seemed like a dicey move. But with three runs coming off wides and seven off Shoriful’s bat – that included a straight boundary – it left Bangladesh with just two to win in the final over.Ibrahim Zadran scored 38 in 37 balls•ACB
Shoriful had kept the strike for the last over, and crashed Omarzai’s first ball down the ground for the winning runs. Nurul remained unbeaten 31 off 21 balls, while Shoriful smashed a decisive 11* in six deliveries.Jaker, Shamim revive BangladeshOmarzai gave Afghanistan the perfect start with the ball, removing openers Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain. Rashid took a good tumbling catch at mid-off to get Tanzid in the second over, before Omarzai trapped Parvez lbw in his next over. Saif Hassan struck a couple of sixes on either side of the wicket, but became Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s victim in the fifth over. Sediqullah Atal took a catch running back from extra cover, as Bangladesh slipped to 24 for 3.Shamim responded to the situation aggressively, hammering Rashid for a six to end the powerplay. Jaker then struck his first six in seven innings when he lofted Mohammad Nabi over long-on. It was followed by a flick over square leg off Abdollah Ahmadzai in the next over.Shamim struck his second six, a huge hit over midwicket, off Noor, as Bangladesh looked on the path to recovery. Jaker, who reached double figures after four consecutive single-figure scores, fell lbw to his opposite number Rashid for the second game in a row, as the fourth-wicket stand between him and Shamim ended on 56.Shoriful Islam gave just 13 runs in four overs•AFP/Getty Images
Rash shots upend Afghanistan’s startAfghanistan started slowly, managing only 35 runs in the powerplay, but they did not lose a wicket. Atal tried to up the ante in the eighth over, hitting Rishad for a couple of sixes. But it was followed by his wicket next ball, as the left-hander was caught at long-on for 23. That broke the opening partnership on 55, before Nasum had Zadran caught at long-on, too, for 38 off 37 balls. When newcomer Wafiullah Tarakhil fell for 1, also taken at long-on, Afghanistan’s steady start had evaporated.Shoriful leads Bangladesh’s squeezeThree of Bangladesh’s five bowlers finished with great economy rates. Shoriful conceded just 13 runs in his four overs, while Nasum and Saifuddin also kept their economy rates below 6.50 in their respective four overs.
