The Chief of Fenerbahce, José Mourinho, praised the decision of the Turkish Football Federation to appoint a foreign referee to officiate the Istanbul derby, but the Galatasaray rivals have tried to block the move.
The governing body announced earlier this week that the Slovenian officer Slavko Vincic will take over the Derby party on Monday.
Vincic, who arbitrated the final of the Champions League last season, will become the first foreign official to take care of a match in the top Turkish category.
The 45 -year -old man has been a FIFA referee since 2010 and previously supervised the European League final, while he has taken care of the games in the leagues of Greek Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Units this season.
The appointment of Vincic for the game occurs in the midst of continuous rows in Turkish football on arbitration standards, which have included claims of potential bias towards the teams.
Istanbul's Derby could try the key in the race for the title with Galatasaray currently six points from Fenerbahce at the top of the table.

Mourinho, who has regularly criticized the referees in Türkiye since he assumed the position of Fenerbahce manager, has hosted the decision as an important step to increase 'credibility'.
“The decision has been made and he is a high -level referee, I think it is important for credibility,” said Mourinho, according to Turkish Outlet Hurriyet.
I am happy with this decision. Although sometimes I may not seem, I am a person who wants a clean play. We want to win, they want to win. I hope it is a great game.
According to the reports, Galatasaray has tried to block Vincic's appointment for the party by presenting an appeal.
The leaders of the League issued a statement accusing the TFF of “inconsistencies” and affirmed that they have returned to the promise of not appointing foreign officials to take care of the parties.
In a statementThe club asked the Federation to make a preliminary list of national referees for the party and said that the appointment of a foreign official was aimed at trying to “achieve a result in favor of the opponent.”
“We invite the Turkish sports community to join this planned and organized evil, this attempt to face the brother,” reads a club statement.
Our only request from our fans is to keep calm in front of these provocations and dedicate all their energy to support our team in the field. Justice will surely prevail, and in the end, good will win.

'We are warning the Turkish Football Federation for the last time that if they really are the soccer leaders, they should bring justice to all clubs instead of doing what someone wants.
“It is no longer a club federation, stop creating more chaos, do whatever necessary for Turkish football.”
The president of TFF, Ibrahim Haciosmanoglu, defended the move on Friday, insisting that the organization “remains the same '.
'I have no enmity with Galatasaray, I have no enmity with anyone. I have never had a problem with Galatasaray and I will never have one ' He told reporters.
'We have separated individuals and institutions. If those who expect privileges get bother, that is not my problem.
'We will remain the same. I am not saying this for Galatasaray, so in general.
Haciosmanoglu explained that the arbitration agency of the Federation had approached the bodies in England, Spain, Germany, Holland, France, Poland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia and Romania about the potential to ensure a referee for the party.
He confirmed that the organization had stayed with the choice of a Bosnian or Slovenian official, with the latter chosen due to the Bosnian striker Edin Dzeko playing for Fenerbahce.
José Mourinho caused the war war with Mauro Icardi this month with an Instagram post
The Galatasaray star, Icardi, responded to Mourinho calling him 'the crying' on his Instagram
The decision occurs only a few weeks after Mourinho dedicated himself to a war war with the Galatasaray striker, Mauro Icardi, who labeled it as the 'crying' in response to a publication on social networks by the Portuguese.
Mourinho had caused the clash when he posted on Instagram after Galatasaray's clash with Demirsppader was abandoned when the adjustment players left the field after 30 minutes in protest of a controversial penalty decision.
The Chief of Fenerbahce had been previously slapped with a fine of more than 20,000 and was given a prohibition of a match after he threw a furious diatribe in the Turkish Super Lig and the arbitration standard in November.
Speaking after a 3-2 victory over Trabzonspor, Mourinho said: 'No one abroad wants to see the Türkiye League.
'Who wants to see this Turkish league abroad? They have the Premier League, they have the French league, they have the German league, they have the Portuguese league, they have the Dutch league. Why should they see this?
'It is too gray. It is too dark, it smells bad. But that is my job, and I will give everything to my work, to my club.
Mourinho then attacked the presentation of the party officials in La Victoria against Trabzonspor, specifically Atilla Karaoglan, who worked in the game as the VAR.
After seeing by his side, granting two penalties, Mourinho was furious when Karaoglan did not intervene to give Fenerbahce a shot in the 82nd minute after the ball hit the banza arm inside the 18 -yard box.
Mourinho said: 'We were in good control, winning 1-0 when Atilla woke up because in the first half he was probably drinking Turkish tea.
'The man of the party was Atilla Karaoglan. We didn't see it, but he was the referee. The referee was just a small child who was there in the field, but the referee was Atilla Karaoglan.
