Mourinho takes Galatasaray coach down by grabbing (and possibly pinching) his nose after tense Istanbul football derby
Jose Mourinho, the legendary Portuguese football coach, who these days coaches Turkish team Fenerbahce (FENER), took down Galatasaray (GSRAY) coach Okan Buruk by grabbing his nose after the final whistle following a tense Istanbul derby, video footage shows.
As a response to the foul play, Buruk, a former professional player, took a nosedive to the pitch, showing an artistic bent, and held his face with two hands while rolling around on the floor. It is unclear if the grab of the nose included a pinch.

There were wild scenes at the end of Fenerbahce’s 2-1 Turkish Cup defeat to their bitter rivals on April 2, The Guardian reported.
Buruk was left lying on his back as Mourinho was dragged away.
The ill-tempered game saw three players sent off.
The incident occurred at Fenerbahce’s Ataturk Stadium on the Asian side of Istanbul while both managers were talking to match officials in the centre circle, the BBC reported.
Fenerbahce on April 4 accused Buruk of acting as if he had been shot in a strongly-worded statement, the BBC also reported.
Mourinho has been banned for three matches and handed a fine of around $7,700, Reuters reported on April 5.
