Chelsea legend Didier Drogba publicly defended his former manager Jose Mourinho on social media amidst racism allegations levied against him in Turkey. Mourinho, now managing Fenerbahce, faced criticism from Galatasaray for allegedly making an offensive remark. Drogba, who has known Mourinho for 25 years, emphasized his belief in Mourinho's integrity and asserted he is not a racist. Additionally, former Chelsea player Michael Essien seemed to support Drogba's stance by sharing an old photo with the two colleagues, strengthening the defense of Mourinho's character during this controversy.
Dear @GalatasaraySK You know how proud I was to wear the yellow and red jersey and my love for the most decorated club in Turkey!! We all know how passionate and heated rivalries can be, and I've been lucky enough to experience it. I’ve seen the recent comments about Jose.
Trust me when I tell you I have known Jose for 25 years and he is not a racist and history (past and recent) is there to prove it.
Another former Chelsea star, Michael Essien, posted an image that would suggest quite strongly that he echoes the words of his old teammate Drogba on this matter.
Mourinho has a history of being highly outspoken and making some controversial comments, but it seems his former player Drogba is absolutely adamant that he is not a racist.
