TURKISH league leaders Galatasaray said the club planned to launch criminal proceedings against Jose Mourinho for “derogatory statements” about Turkish people.

The club said it would also submit complaints to governing bodies Uefa and Fifa after the Fenerbahce boss’ comments following Monday’s 0-0 draw between the top two sides.

The former Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Real Madrid manager made comments about the Galatasaray bench “jumping like monkeys” after an early challenge and the match being better because it was not officiated by a Turkish referee. Slovenian Slavko Vincic refereed the contest.
