Despite trailing Galatasaray by six points in the Turkish Super Lig race, Fenerbahce still holds a game in hand over their fierce rivals.

Fethi Pekin, a board member at Fenerbahce, told Sky Sports: "Now, let me be absolutely clear here, Fenerbahce didn't bring Jose Mourinho here to maintain the status quo. We brought him here to disrupt it.

"Mourinho represents everything this club is aiming for; ambition, courage and a relentless desire to win. He does not take losing as an option. He's not here to coach 90 minutes of football. He's here to build a winning culture and, sometimes, that means speaking up and standing firm in the face of provocation.

"What happened in the recent derby match was not just a football rivalry. It was an orchestrated effort to provoke our bench, our squad, our players, and our manager."

There was already increased tension between the two clubs after Galatasaray said in February they would "initiate criminal proceedings" against Mourinho after claiming he made "racist statements" following a goalless draw in February.

Fenerbahce said on Friday the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office had dismissed Galatasaray's criminal complaint against the Portuguese.
