The head coach of Fenerbahce, Jose Mourinho, has revealed that he has a “problem” with Victor Osimhen, after the striker secured a move to Galatasaray.
In a recent interview, Mourinho acknowledged Osimhen’s abilities but highlighted a particular behaviour that frustrated him when he faced him on the pitch.
Mourinho’s relationship with Osimhen dates back to their encounters in Italy, where he was managing AS Roma and Osimhen was a great player for Napoli.
While talking to HT Spor, Mourinho said: “He’s an incredible talent. Galatasaray have secured a fantastic player.
“I’ve never had an issue with him personally, but there’s one thing about him that irritates me when he’s on the opposing team. During one of our Roma-Napoli encounters, I took the time to speak with him.
“I told him, ‘You and Salah are currently the best African players, following in the footsteps of legends like Drogba, Eto’o, and Weah. But you cannot continue to play the way you do.’ He tends to go down too easily, and that’s where my problem lies.”
