Fenerbahce manager Jose Mourinho has praised the duo of Didier Drogba and Mikel Obi for their show of support following an allegation that he made a racist comment.
Recall that Galatasaray accused Mourinho of making “racist statements” following the goalless draw between the Turkish Super Lig rivals.
However, Drogba and Mikel defended their former Chelsea manager for not making such comments.
Reacting to the development, Mourinho in a chat with Sky Sports, hailed Drogba and Mikel for standing by him.
