Jose Mourinho made his mark as Fenerbahce boss by getting booked just 20 minutes into his first league game in charge of the club.
Mourinho, 61, was appointed as manager of the Turkish giants this summer as he replaced former boss Ismail Kartal who was moved on despite leading the club to 99 points last season.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager has been well received in Istanbul in what is his first role since being sacked by Roma in January.
Mourinho has already overseen three Champions League games, with Fenerbahce beating Swiss side Lugano 6-4 on aggregate in the second qualifying round, before they lost the first leg of their third qualifying round tie against Lille 2-1 last week.
And, on Sunday, Mourinho took charge of Fenerbahce’s opening game in the Turkish Super Lig this season, with the club hoping to win the domestic title for the first time since 2013-14.

But with just 20 minutes on the clock, the Portuguese coach’s frustrations then boiled over with the referee.
Mourinho expressed his frustrations when a decision went against his team as he furiously gestured and shouted at the referee and fourth official.
Referee Atilla Karaoglan decided to intervene and handed Mourinho a yellow card, as the 61-year-old, who looked furious, showed he is still an extremely fiery figure on the touchline.
Mourinho’s booking comes after he was also cautioned during the 2-1 defeat by Lille last week after he lost his temper with the referee.
And, several fans were loving seeing Mourinho being back to his feisty self in the dugout.
