Mourinho Debunks Claims of Wishing Relegation on Manchester City
Fenerbahce coach Jose Mourinho has dismissed reports suggesting he wanted Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City relegated from the Premier League amid allegations of financial breaches.
Manchester City, who have dominated the Premier League with four consecutive titles, face possible fines and points deductions for over a decade of alleged financial irregularities.
However, Mourinho clarified his stance during an interview with Turkish outlet Fanatik, expressing his desire for fair competition.
“I want to win, but I want to win cleanly and fairly. If I can’t win cleanly, I’d rather lose,” Mourinho stated. “He won six trophies, and I won three, but I won fairly and cleanly. I don’t want to win by dealing with 115 cases.”
Mourinho also emphasized his good relationship with Guardiola, having worked together for three years. “Pep and I know we love each other.
It is not true that I want them to be relegated; what is true is that I want justice. Small teams are penalized for exceeding financial limits by small amounts, yet the big teams seem to get away with more.”
The Fenerbahce coach further recalled his challenges with Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules during his time at AS Roma, lamenting the inconsistencies in their application.
“I suffered due to the limits at Roma. All I want is justice, but there are no ill feelings between us,” Mourinho concluded.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
