Jose Mourinho, who recently joined Fernabache, witnessed one of the most insane incidents in football after his team failed to record a victory against Goztepe.
Fenerbache’s chairman, Ali Koc, was the victim of fan violence as Fenerbache, coached by Mourinho, played a 2-2 away draw at Goztepe.

A thug who had made his way onto the pitch attempted to punch Fenerbache chairman Koc, pushing him to the ground, before security stopped him.
The president was protected from a hail of bottles by police using riot shields, with his security creating a human barrier around him.

After the game, Fenerbahce TV issued a strong statement, according to reports from The Sun.
It reads, ”We are witnessing a night of football terrorism. The situation is extremely dangerous.”
Now Goztepe, the home team, have responded, accusing Koc of “deliberately riling their fans up,” which led to the action.
They released a statement that read, “During the league match played against Fenerbahçe in our stadium yesterday, it is completely unacceptable to enter areas where only accredited people can enter, ‘despite all the warnings of our CEO’, while the match is still going on and to provoke our fans.”
This is just one of several acts of fan-violence in the Turkish league.
The Nigerian international was seen punching a fan who had invaded the pitch and attempted to attack Fenerbahce players following his team’s 3-2 victory over Trabzonspor.
