Didier Drogba has weighed in on Galatasaray’s accusations of racism against Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho. Following the Turkish Super Lig clash between the sides – which ended in a 0-0 draw – chaos ensued off the pitch. Mourinho and Drogba spent five years together at Chelsea over two separate spellsGetty Images - GettyThe top two sides played out the goalless game at RAMS Park in Istanbul, but after the game Galatasaray accused the former Chelsea manager of racism.Galatasaray alleged that the Portuguese coach made a racist statement, saying: “Since the commencement of his managerial duties in Turkiye, Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has persistently issued derogatory statements directed towards the Turkish people.“Today, his discourse has escalated beyond merely immoral comments into unequivocally inhumane rhetoric.“We hereby formally declare our intention to initiate criminal proceedings concerning the racist statements made by Jose Mourinho, and shall accordingly submit official complaints to UEFA and FIFA” they wrote.It came after Mourinho described the Galatasaray bench as ‘jumping around like monkeys’. Fenerbahce responded in defence of their coach, writing: “As every sensible person can see and understand; these statements used by Jose Mourinho to describe the excessive reaction of the opposing team’s technical staff to the referee decisions during the match can in no way be associated with racism.“Trying to portray this statement as racist is a completely malicious approach.“We would like to inform the public that we will use our legal rights regarding this pathetic slander that was made in order to take the competition off the field, change the agenda and manipulate it.”But now, Drogba – who played at Chelsea for five years under Mourinho – has weighed in on the drama in support of the manager. Posting on X, formerly Twitter, he wrote: “Dear Galatasaray. You know how proud I was to wear the yellow and red jersey and my love for the most decorated club in Turkey.Mourinho finds himself at the centre of a racism row with Turkish side GalatasarayGetty“We all know how passionate and heated rivalries can be, and I’ve been lucky enough to experience it. I’ve seen the recent comments about Jose Mourinho. “Trust me when I tell you I have known Jose for 25 years and he is not a racist and history (past and recent) is there to prove it.“Let’s focus on our games, support our brilliant lions and let’s win the league.“How can my ‘Dad’ be a racist? Come on guys” he concluded.
