TURKISH FOOTBALL CHIEF RESIGNS OVER LEAKAGE OF WHATSAPP MESSAGES ABOUT MOURINHO.

The chairman of the Professional Football Disciplinary Committee, Celal Nuri Demiturk, has resigned after his chats about Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, were leaked.

Mourinho has continued to be a controversial and outspoken figure since he arrived at the Istanbul club, and Demiturk is among those who have responded to the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss’ actions.

Basbug Pinarbasi has now replaced Demiturk as the chairman of the Committee, which is overseen by the Turkish Football Federation.

Fenerbahce had earlier called for Demiturk to resign, describing the comments made about Mourinho during conversations between the committee members as “hostile”.

The club insisted that the comments “clearly violate the principle of impartiality”.
