Jose Mourinho did not retain his point of view on Jhon Duran after the former man of Aston Villa missed the start of pre-season training in his new club, Fenerbahce.
Duran, 21, joined Fenerbahce de Mourinho on a loan from a season from Al Nassr earlier this month. It came only six months after leaving Aston Villa for the Saudi club in an agreement worth 71 million pounds sterling.
And despite his talent on the ground, there were several question points concerning sometimes the temperament and attitude of the Colombian striker.
In December 2024, he was accused of inappropriate contacts for the Football Association (FA) for his reaction to be sent for a challenge on Fabian SCHAR during the 3-0 defeat of the aftermath of Villa by Newcastle United.
Duran received a fine of £ 15,000 and received a ban on three games.
Now he landed in hot water in his new club before he even kicked in a competition match.
As indicated by Spanish Outlet BRANDDuran has already angry his new head coach, Mourinho.

The report says that the 21-year-old striker was absent from the start of the Fenerbahce pre-season camp in Portugal.
And Mourinho did not hold back with his point of view on Duran during a press conference.
Mourinho said: “It’s disrespectful. There are clear rules here, and whoever will not follow them will face consequences. We will talk to him when he presents himself, if he does it.”
The giants of Istanbul will see their pre-season calendar in progress with a friendly match against the Portuguese part of portimonse at the Municipal Estadio of Albufeira on Thursday.
Mourinho hopes to secure his first trophy on the Turkish side this quarter, after having finished second behind the rivals of the Galatasaray city during the 2024/25 campaign.
Several players have already been recruited by Mourinho this summer, the original defender of Birmingham, Archie Brown, coming from the Belgian Gent side.
The former Manchester United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat also made his permanent loan agreement. The goalkeeper Tarik Cetin joined Mourinho’s side during a free transfer after the expiration of his contract to çaykur Rizespor.
Fenerbahce will face Uniao Leiria, Al Ittihad, Benfica and Lazio in pre-season friendly matches in July before starting their Super Lig campaign with a home match against Alanyaspor on August 9.
