The words of Chelsea’s former striker: “How can my ‘dad’ be racist.”
Didier Drogba has defended José Mourinho on social media. The Special One has been accused of racism for remarks made post the derby with Galatasaray. “They were jumping around like monkeys,” said the former coach of Roma. Drogba’s words were: “Dear Galatasaray, you know how proud I was to wear the red and yellow jersey and how much I love the most successful club in Turkey! We all know how heated and passionate rivalries can get, and I’ve had the fortune of experiencing it.” I have read the recent comments about José Mourinho. Believe me when I say that I have known José for 25 years and he is not racist, history (both past and recent) supports this. “Let’s focus on our games, support our brilliant lions and win the championship. How could my ‘daddy’ be racist? Go, guys!” Essien too has defended Mourinho, posting a photo of them together from their Chelsea days. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce has filed a complaint against Galatasaray, accusing the Turkish club of ‘assaulting the personal rights’ of José Mourinho. The assistant received an empty block of text and therefore, isn’t able to provide a translation.
