The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) reduced Fenerbahçe manager Jose Mourinho's suspension from four matches to two after reviewing the club's appeal.
Mourinho was handed a fine and the ban over his comments about Turkish referees after a game at rivals Galatasaray, where he criticized the match officials in a press conference following the 0-0 Süper Lig draw Monday.
The TFF fined the 62-year-old Portuguese TL 1.6 million ($43,963.89) but that was reduced to TL 558,500.
The penalties were due to "derogatory and offensive statements towards the Turkish referee" and accusations of chaos and disorder in Turkish football, according to the TFF.
The TFF said Mourinho's remarks violated sports ethics, promoted violence and disorder and could incite fan incidents.
Monday's game was refereed by Slovenian Slavko Vincic after both clubs requested a foreign official take charge.
Fenerbahçe issued a statement Tuesday defending Mourinho, saying his comments were taken out of context and deliberately distorted.
Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur manager Mourinho has previously been fined and suspended for his comments about Turkish match officials.
On Friday, Fenerbahçe said Mourinho filed a lawsuit against Galatasaray after they accused him of making racist statements.
The Portuguese manager will return for Fenerbahçe's Süper Lig match against Samsunspor on March 16.
Fenerbahçe are second in Tükiye's Süper Lig, six points behind fellow Istanbul side Galatasaray.
