Jose Mourinho facing fresh Turkish ban on eve of Rangers tie

Jose Mourinho is set to be hit with another ban after being referred to the Turkish FA disciplinary board.

The Fenerbahce boss will try to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit against Rangers tonight in the Europa League at Ibrox.

He's currently serving a two-game ban after comments he made about the Galatasaray bench 'jumping like monkeys' in the recent derby which finished goalless.

It was initially a four-game ban, but the former Porto, Chelsea, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Roma boss got it reduced to two matches on appeal.

However, he's now facing another ban after the Turkish FA disciplinary board charged him for 'statements aimed at damaging the reputation of football.'

Mourinho stated later: "I received a four-match ban and then I saw the person who gave me the ban was wearing a Galatasaray jersey."

He was also fined around £2,500 for his comments after the derby and looks set to land in more hot water with the Turkish authorities.
