Fenerbahce v Trabzonspor - Turkish Super League
Jose Mourinho says he is "not happy" with his Fenerbahce team's season as he complained of "strange things" happening in the Super Lig title race.
WHAT HAPPENED?
It has been a tumultuous campaign for the Portuguese manager and his team, who finished 11 points behind champions Galatasaray in the battle to win the Turkish top-flight. They were also knocked out of the Europa League at the last-16 stage by Rangers.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
As well as disappointing results, there was plenty of controversy surrounding Mourinho off the field throughout the season. He was banned for grabbing the nose of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk, took legal action against their Istanbul rivals after he was accused of racism, got into a feud with Fenerbahce player Allan Saint-Maximin and made criticised Turkish football and its referees.
WHAT MOURINHO SAID
The former Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid coach gave a dismal verdict after his team finished their campaign with a 2-1 win against Konyaspor on Saturday.
He told reporters: "We finished second in the league, that wasn’t our goal. We actually had a good season until we lost the title. It was difficult to get the team back on track. Strange things happened in the league and also against Rangers. I can’t describe it. Overall, it was a disappointing season. When a new coach arrives, people get hope. If we compare this to the phase when there was no chance of winning the championship, people lose motivation, the stadium is empty and there are reactions.
"I don’t blame my players, they are human and professional. They are the first to feel sad about the bad results. I am not happy."
