The Turkish Football Federation has halved Fenerbahçe coach Jose Mourinho's two-match suspension and reduced his fine after the Istanbul club's appeal was upheld.
The Portuguese missed the Cup match against Gaziantep, and will not lead the team on Sunday in the championship match against Antalyaspor.
The fine has also been reduced, so instead of $44.000, Mourinho will pay just over $15.000...
The F.S. suspended Mourinho for four matches for his statements about referees after the draw with Galatasaray (0:0) in the Turkish championship.
The federation then explained that it had punished Mourinho for derogatory and offensive statements made to a Turkish referee and accusations of chaos and disorder in Turkish football.
The match was refereed by Slovenian Slavko Vinčić, after both clubs requested a foreign referee.
Galatasaray accused Mourinho of racism after the derby, while Fenerbahçe announced that the 62-year-old Portuguese coach's statements were taken out of context.
Fenerbahce is second in the Turkish league table, six points behind leaders Galatasaray.
