Getting on the wrong side of Jose Mourinho is a complete no-no, but Jhon Duran has managed it in record time. Duran signed for Mourinho's Fenerbahce earlier this month on a season-long loan from Saudi Arabian side Al Nassr. The 21-year-old had been playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo in the Middle East, but departed after only 18 appearances. He left Aston Villa and the Premier League for Al Nassr in January in a £64million move that saw him heavily criticised. Now, Duran is part of the Fenerbahce squad heading into the new season, with this being his third club in seven months. But he's not made a great start at the Turkish giants, angering Mourinho only two weeks into his loan spell. The iconic manager revealed in a press conference that the Colombian had not turned up for pre-season training in Portugal. Mourinho said on Wednesday: "It's disrespectful. "There are clear rules here, and anyone who doesn't follow them will face consequences. "We'll talk to him when he shows up, if he does. "  Reports in Turkey indicate that Duran is expected to join up with the Fenerbahce squad for their pre-season in a few days. Fenerbahce play their first game in preparation for the new campaign on Thursday against Portuguese side Portimonense. But it seems Duran won't be playing a part after this no-show, and he's now on the wrong side of Mourinho. The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has had many famous spats with his own players. He publicly criticised Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford at Man United, while ripping the bib off Eden Hazard while at the Blues. And Mourinho is already talking about consequences for Duran's 'disrespectful' act at the start of pre-season. The young striker would have hoped for a more positive start to his time at Fenerbahce after controversies at other clubs. Before his departure from Aston Villa, he was sent off for stamping on the back of Fabian Schar during a game against Newcastle. At the same time, his angry reaction of kicking a water bottle on the touchline saw him charged by the FA for his actions. And in another incident at Villa Park, Duran's attitude was questioned as he smashed the substitutes' seats after being taken off during a Champions League win. He was also involved in an issue surrounding his living situation in Saudi Arabia, which Al Nassr had to release a statement to deny. Duran continues to be involved in controversial moments and his latest leaves him in very hot water. His first impression at Fenerbahce couldn't have been made much worse and Mourinho is clearly angry. Talks between the pair are expected and his time in Turkey could well be defined by how that chat goes. © 2025 talk SPORT Limited
