The Special One’s misconduct has now gone too far.
Following the match, he carried out an attack that resulted in his hand striking the opposing team’s manager in the face. It remains uncertain whether he can keep his role as a manager.
The British newspaper Daily Mail reported on the 3rd (in Korean time) about an astonishing event where Jose Mourinho allegedly grabbed the nose of an opposing player and caused them to fall during the Istanbul Derby. This incident has created quite a stir.
After the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 Turkey Cup at Shikru Sarazolu Stadium in Istanbul, Türkiye, Mourinho took an unforeseen step. The game featured arch-rivals Fenerbahce, managed by Mourinho, and Galatasaray. This encounter is known as the ‘Istanbul derby.’ In this intense rivalry match, Fenerbahce suffered a defeat with a score of one to two.
Subsequently, Mourinho encountered an incident.Coach Okan Buruk of Galatasaray, who had remained on the field following the match, suddenly charged from behind and grabbed Mourinho by the nose, knocking him over. This unforeseen act was something nobody would have dared contemplate; it seemed as though he had gone berserk.
The arena swiftly descended into chaos. Buruk hit the turf, leaving everyone stunned. Soon after, the athletes sprang into action. Goalkeeper FernandoMuslera of Galatasaray rushed toward Mourinho. A clash ensued among the players. Law enforcement then invaded the field and started restoring order. In the meantime, Mourinho was led away from the pitch by his team officials.
The Galatasaray players pursued Mourinho with such intensity. The Fenerbahce players hurriedly moved to intercept them once more. This situation created one of the most chaotic scenes imaginable on a soccer pitch.
The reasons behind Mourinho’s actions remain unclear, but he appeared to be under immense pressure during the game. The match was as intense as a battle for survival between foes. It felt nearly akin to warfare. A brutal physical confrontation occurred, resulting in two Galatasaray players and one from Fenerbahce being shown red cards.
Consequently, Mourinho faces a significant risk of facing disciplinary measures. Following the match, he could be held responsible for instigating disorder. Furthermore, there is a chance of criminal charges being filed due to his physical altercation with the opposing team’s coach.

Staff at a garment factory in Ho Chi Minh City, which supplies T-shirts and underwear to the U.S., were shocked by the newly introduced “devastating” trade tariffs on Vietnam that could have severe repercussions for their operations.
A major manufacturing hub that listed the United States as its largest market last year, this Southeast Asian country faced a hefty 46 percent tariff during President Donald Trump’s worldwide trade crackdown.
Even though there were general concerns about being a major focus due to its substantial trade surplus with Washington — ranking third largest after China and Mexico — the magnitude of the tariffs announced on Thursday was a shock for companies and manufacturing employees alike.
“Truly astonishing,” stated Tran Nhu Tung, who chairs the board of Thanh Cong—a manufacturing plant in Ho Chi Minh City producing garments for brands like DKNY and Walmart.
“Specifically within the textile sector, we didn’t expect this. I believed that because Vietnam is a smaller nation, the U.S. wouldn’t enforce such high tariffs,” stated Tung.
Approximately one-quarter of his exports are presently shipped to the United States, he mentioned.
In the trade conflict between Beijing and Washington during Trump’s first term, Vietnam capitalized on its strategic geographical placement and inexpensive skilled workforce to establish itself as a rival manufacturing center in Asia.
A number of businesses relocated portions of their supply chains, resulting in Vietnam’s trade surplus with the U.S. doubling from 2017 to 2023.
Currently, major companies like Nike—which manufactured 50% of its shoes and 28% of its clothing in Vietnam during the fiscal year 2024—are dealing with significantly increased expenses. They must either shoulder these additional costs themselves or pass them along to consumers, leading to a sharp decline in their stock prices on Thursday.
Analysts mentioned that these tariffs might push numerous entities to seek alternative locations for production.
“These items have slim profit margins and are highly sensitive to pricing changes, leading large corporations to redirect their orders to nations with more favorable reciprocal tariff rates,” explained Sayaka Shiba, who serves as a senior country risk analyst at the research company BMI.
Tariffs would “substantially harm” Vietnam’s present economic strategy focused on exports, as the country heavily depends on sales to the U.S., she explained, noting that under the most adverse conditions, this could result in a 3% reduction in GDP for the year.
Data from the US Trade Representative website indicates that the United States imported $136.6 billion worth of products from Vietnam in the previous year, which accounts for approximately 30 percent of its GDP.
Following the announcement, Hanoi’s stocks plummeted, causing its primary index to close 6.7 percent lower on Thursday—the largest decline since 2001 as reported by Bloomberg.
‘Can’t eat, can’t sleep’
The imposed tariffs have caused workers in Vietnam to worry about their future prospects.
“Due to constant worries about potentially losing my employment, I’ve been struggling with both eating and sleeping properly,” stated 38-year-old Cao Thi Dieu, who works at a shoe manufacturing plant in Ho Chi Minh City producing footwear for companies like Nike and Adidas.
“What will happen if I lose my job? How can I keep making enough money every month for my two kids’ education?” she said to AFP.
Shortly after the announcement, Vietnam’s prime minister called for the swift formation of a “rapid response team,” adding that Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc was set to travel to the United States for an official “working visit.”
“Several people think that this tariff rate is primarily a negotiating tactic rather than an ultimate stance,” stated Dan Martin from the business consulting company Dezan Shira & Associates in Hanoi.
Even though Vietnam might aim for a decrease, past charm offensive efforts have been unsuccessful.
Earlier this week, Vietnam reduced import taxes on numerous items ranging from liquefied gas and certain agricultural products to vehicles, seemingly as an anticipatory move to mitigate the impact of these tariffs.
The company further declared that it would permit Elon Musk’s SpaceX to initiate its Starlink satellite internet service under a trial program extending until 2030.
However, it seems that the Trump administration was deeply frustrated with Vietnam for allegedly assisting in efforts to evade tariffs placed on China.
A White House official informed journalists, “The operation in Vietnam functions this way: They establish these sites that appear, when viewed from above, as though they are production facilities. However, China merely transports its goods into these storage buildings, after which Vietnam ships them to us.”
However, a 2024 report from the International Monetary Fund stated that there was “no definitive proof” indicating Vietnam’s involvement in aiding Chinese exports to the United States.
“Most companies aren’t trying to manipulate the system,” Martin stated. “They’re here because Vietnam offers both strategic and operational advantages.”

The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) President, Madam Pang, made headlines as she arrived in Vietnam sporting a designer ensemble complete with an Hermes bag and a timepiece worth more than $340,000.
Arriving at Noi Bai International Airport at 11:50 a.m. on Thursday, Madam Pang sported a Richard Mille watch valued at roughly $340,000, held an Hermès bag priced about $16,500, and finished her ensemble with a brown Hermès jacket estimated at around $7,000.
Her visit aims to foster collaboration in women’s soccer between Vietnam and Thailand, marking 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties between the countries. She was present at a friendly game involving the U17 national female squads from both Vietnam and Thailand in Hanoi at around 3 p.m.
Nualphan Lamsam, widely recognized as Madam Pang, originates from the Lamsam clan, a prominent and affluent Thai business dynasty. As reported by Forbes, the collective wealth of this family stands at approximately $890 million.
Mrs. Pang obtained her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Chulalongkorn University and pursued further studies overseas where she earned a Master’s degree. Presently, she holds the positions of President and Chief Executive Officer at Muang Thai Insurance Group, a prominent insurance company in the nation. Additionally, she is a co-owner of Meister Technik, responsible for distributing the Audi marque in Thailand.
Pioneering in the fashion sector, Madam Pang played a crucial role in bringing luxury international brands into Thailand. Her enterprises, Wanmani and San Honor, made prestigious labels like Hermès, Emporio Armani, Tod’s, Rodo, Chloé, Christofle, and Blumarine more accessible to Thai shoppers.
In soccer, Madam Pang serves as the president of the local team Port FC and assumed the role of FAT President in February 2024 after securing a remarkable 68 out of 73 votes (93%). She stands as the inaugural female leader of a national football association both in Thailand and across Asia.
From August 2021 to January 2024, she served as head of the Thai football delegation. During that time, she personally spent around 60 million baht ($1.75 million) to reward Thailand teams participating in regional and continental tournaments, helping them win back-to-back AFF Cup titles in 2021 and 2022.

Newcastle United are set to step on Korean soil this summer.
According to an exclusive report released on the 3rd (in Korean time), the British newspaper iNews stated, “Newcastle United plans to visit Singapore and South Korea as part of their lucrative pre-season tour. They will travel to Asia towards the end of July and participate in three matches. One game is scheduled to take place at the 55,000-capacity Singapore National Stadium. This marks Newcastle’s inaugural appearance in South Korea.”
After the top six clubs in the English Premier League, Newcastle stands as the next highly esteemed team. They have claimed the first division title four times and secured the FA Cup six times. This year, they demonstrated their ambition to regain prestige by defeating Liverpool and claiming victory in the Carabao Cup.
Korean football enthusiasts recognize this team as the former club of Alan Shearer, who holds the record for the most goals scored in Premier League history. Additionally, South Korea’s legendary player Ki Sung-yueng represented the squad during the period spanning from the 2018–2019 season through the end of the 2019–2020 campaign.
Newcastle United has been expanding under the ownership of a group headed by Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is managed by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud after acquiring the club in 2021. With substantial backing from Saudi financial resources, Newcastle is rapidly amassing strength. Key figures currently playing for them consist of Allan Saint-Maximin, Sven Botman, and Bruno Guimarães. Furthermore, manager Eddie Howe ranks among the elite coaching talents within the English Premier League.
A number of major football clubs, along with Newcastle, are anticipated to tour South Korea this coming summer. According to an article published in February by the UK’s Daily Mail, Spurs’ journey across Asia proves highly lucrative because of star player Son Heung-min’s immense fanbase in East Asia. Considering these factors, Tottenham might plan another stopover in South Korea after their previous visit. Additionally, discussions about a match in Hong Kong have been initiated; hence, Tottenham could indeed return to Korea later this year.
Barcelona, considered the premier club globally, is presently negotiating to hold the match in Daegu. Starting from 2022, major teams have regularly come to South Korea as part of the Coupang Play series. Clubs such as Tottenham, Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have made visits.

Seven individuals, among them two children, lost their lives when a vessel transporting migrants from Turkey to an adjacent Greek island overturned, according to statements made by Greece’s coast guard.
A search and rescue mission along the northwestern coast of Lesbos led to the recovery of several bodies.
The coast guard reported that 23 individuals have been saved.
Turkish media reported on what seemed to be an identical sinking incident, stating that the Turkish coast guard responded after a rubber boat capsized in the Aegean Sea, located between the Turkish coastline and Lesbos island.
The individuals who were rescued were transported to a medical facility, while the search efforts persisted, according to the state-owned Anadolu news agency.
The weather conditions in the region were reportedly favorable, but it remained uncertain as to what led to the boat capsizing early Thursday morning.
No prompt initial data was available regarding the overall count of individuals aboard the boat, their countries of origin, or specifics about the kind of craft involved.
Marine and terrestrial search and rescue efforts are ongoing, involving three coast guard ships, an air force helicopter, and a proximate vessel scouring the region for possible additional survivors.
Greece serves as a primary gateway into the European Union for individuals escaping conflicts and economic hardships in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Many undertake the brief yet frequently perilous voyage from the Turkish shoreline to neighboring Greek islands using makeshift rafts.
A lot of them are not seaworthy or depart during poor weather conditions, leading to frequent deadly incidents.
The Greek authorities have intensified maritime surveillance through more frequent patrols. As a result, numerous trafficking networks have redirected their activities further south, employing bigger vessels to ferry individuals from North Africa’s northern shores directly into southern Greece.

Oscar Arias, the ex-leader of Costa Rica and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, mentioned that his U.S. visa was rescinded without any clarification provided, just a few weeks following his criticism of then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
This week, Arias received an email from the US State Department stating, “New information has emerged suggesting that you might not qualify for your visa.”
The message stated that Arias would need to submit a new visa application if he planned to visit the United States.
The individual, who is 84 years old, stated on Wednesday that he was unaware of the reasons behind the revocation of his visa. However, he admitted that Washington might not have been pleased with his remarks regarding Russia’s comprehensive invasion of Ukraine, the trade disputes between the United States and China, or Israel’s ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Arias, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his work in ending civil conflicts in Central America, recently drew parallels between Trump’s behavior and that of a Roman emperor.
“Smaller nations have always found it challenging to oppose the U.S. government, particularly when their leader acts akin to a Roman emperor, dictating directives to the global community,” Arias stated in a social media posting back in February.
Following the U.S.’s decision to revoke the visas of three Costa Rican legislators who were against President Rodrigo Chaves’s decree excluding Chinese companies from participating in the nation’s 5G network—a step urged by Washington—he made remarks on social media.
This week, yet another political opponent from the Central American country experienced the revocation of their US visa.
On Wednesday, following Trump’s announcement of a series of tariffs targeting numerous trading partners, which included a 10% tax on goods coming from Costa Rica, Arias spoke out against this move and stated that it was illogical.
“History bears witness,” stated Arias, who served as the President of Costa Rica twice, first from 1986 to 1990 and then again from 2006 to 2010.
Empirically speaking, you can observe that nations with more open economies and greater freedom of trade are the ones that have experienced higher growth and managed to enhance their conditions relatively quickly.
The ex-president of Costa Rica mentioned that he wasn’t troubled at all by the choice made by Washington to take away his visa.
He mentioned, ‘The United States has already bestowed upon me 93 honorary degrees.’
“They won’t be offering me anything else. My primary motivation for visiting the United States was to receive those doctoral degrees. I would have preferred if this hadn’t occurred since I hold great admiration for that country and its people,” Arias stated additionally.
