On August 14, Fenerbahçe, led by Jose Mourinho, were eliminated from the Champions League qualifying round after losing to Lille in the third round over two legs. Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand believes Mourinho is no longer suitable to coach European teams and he should focus on football rather than referees.
Ferdinand said: “Against Lille today we saw why Mourinho is no longer suitable to coach European teams. He shouldn’t be worried about referees but should focus on football. The game is won on the pitch.”
Mourinho was furious after the game, slamming the referee for awarding a penalty to Lille in extra time: “I think only the referee knows why it was a penalty, only VAR knows, I’m proud of my team.”
After their Champions League qualifying defeat, Fenerbahçe will now participate in the Europa League competition.
