  WHAT HAPPENED?

  The Fenerbahce boss has made a habit of rotating his team this season, something that has not gone unnoticed in the media. Mourinho was quizzed on his recent team selections after a 4-1 win over Istanbul BB and came up with a response that raised more than a few eyebrows in the press room.

• WHAT MOURINHO SAID

  He told reporters: "I have 25 coins, I throw the coins in the air. The ones that stay on the table are the players that play, the ones that go on the floor, go on the bench. I do it just like this. During the week I'm having fun, I go to nightclubs every day in Istanbul. It's simple."

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Mourinho's future at the club has come under scrutiny during an often controversial spell in Turkey. The former Chelsea boss was asked about president Ali Koç's comments that he had turned down a huge offer to leave mid-season and answered only: "His words are his words. I have too much respect for our president … I have no comments, I'm just a coach."

  Yet that did not stop the questions from flowing. Mourinho was then asked about his future and if would continue or consider other offers but replied only: "I don't understand the question."
