Fenerbahce coach José Mourinho found himself at the center of mockery after his side’s 3-1 loss to rivals Galatasaray in the Istanbul derby.
The defeat marked Fenerbahce’s first of the season, leaving them five points behind the league leaders.
Galatasaray took to social media to taunt Mourinho, posting a photoshopped image of a book titled “The Crying One”, featuring a sad-looking Mourinho on the cover.
The playful jibe referenced Mourinho’s famous “Special One” nickname, with the caption, “On sale in stores around Kadıköy.”
The trolling didn’t stop there, as Galatasaray also posted during the match, “Seems like we’re cooking a special one tonight,” when their team led 3-1.
Another photo of Mourinho standing behind Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk was captioned, “The winner one.”
Mourinho, who took over Fenerbahce in the summer, left the stadium without attending the post-match press conference.
He faces the challenge of ending Fenerbahce’s decade-long Super Lig title drought, with his next test being a Europa League opener against Royale Union Saint-Gilloise.
