Turkey Süper Lig club Fenerbahce said Friday they have filed a lawsuit against rival Galatasaray for an "attack on the personal rights" of coach Jose Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho is reportedly suing Galatasaray after he was accused of making "racist statements" following their goalless draw earlier this week.

Jose Mourinho is to sue rivals Galatasaray after the Istanbul club accused him of racism, Fenerbahce have confirmed. Mourinho said Galatasaray’s bench were “jumping like monkeys” as they appealed an early challenge in the 0-0 draw on Monday.
