Fenerbahçe Manager Jose Mourinho Reacts to Jhon Duran’s Absence

The relationship between Fenerbahçe’s head coach Jose Mourinho and new signing Jhon Duran has had a rough start. Mourinho was upset when Duran did not show up for training in Portugal as the team prepared for the new season.

The 21-year-old Colombian player, who recently joined Fenerbahçe on a season-long loan, had transferred just six months after signing for Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in a deal worth £71 million. Mourinho criticized Duran’s actions as “disrespectful” and indicated that there will be repercussions for his absence. “It’s disrespectful. There are clear rules, and anyone who breaks them will face consequences,” Mourinho stated. “We will address the issue when he arrives.”

In addition to this, Mourinho is reportedly unhappy with the performance of Sofyan Amrabat, who might soon leave the club after a disappointing start, according to Turkish media. There are also reports that Mourinho’s frustrations extend beyond Duran and Amrabat to other players from his previous clubs.

Mourinho has a history of disciplinary clashes with players. His previous conflicts include a well-known fallout with Paul Pogba at Manchester United, where Pogba revealed that working with Mourinho led to feelings of depression. Mourinho questioned Pogba’s attitude and stripped him of vice-captaincy, ultimately leading to Pogba’s departure. Similarly, a confrontation with former player Danny Rose was documented, with Rose criticizing Mourinho’s treatment.

Despite his tense relationships with some players, Mourinho remains a prominent figure in football. Duran’s move to Fenerbahçe and the ongoing team dynamics are closely watched as the season unfolds.
