Ozil unhappy with Fenerbahce bench duty as ex-Arsenal star tosses bib at coach

The World Cup winner was an unused substitute when Fener took in their latest outing, with Vitor Pereira opting not to introduce the German playmaker

Mesut Ozil continues to generate headlines in Turkey, with the former Arsenal man sparking a bib-throwing debate on the back of Fenerbahce’s latest Super Lig outing.

The World Cup-winning playmaker saw no game time in that contest, with Vitor Pereira opting against introducing the ex-Germany international as a substitute.

Bench duty did not go down well with Ozil, despite the 32-year-old easing his way back from illness, and he appeared to vent that frustration in the direction of his manager at the full-time whistle.
