Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho is returning top-flight coaching this time in Turkey’s top flight as he is set to join Turkey Super Lig club Fenerbahce. Mourinho's previous managerial stint was in the Serie A with AS Roma where he won the Conference League and lost in the Europa League Final but was sacked as the Giallorossi have failed to replicate their form the 2023-24 season.
Roma brought Daniele De Rossi to replace Jose Mourinho, who ensured the club qualified for European football and finished sixth on the table. Whereas several rumours about 'the Special One' moving to Saudi Arabia were making the rounds which now turned out to be false.
Jose Mourinho set to join Turkish giants Fenerbahce
Veteran Italian journalist Gianluca di Marzio confirmed that Mourinho is set to join Fener and has agreed to sign a two-year deal with them. The report also revealed Fenerbahce sporting director Mario Branco was crucial in bringing the multi-time Champions League manager and the move is expected to be announced later today.
Fenerbahçe had a near-perfect 2023-24 season as the Sarı Kanaryalar finished second place in the Süper Lig. The Dusan Tadic-led side had an incredible 99 points with 31 wins, six draws and one loss but fell short by three points as Galatasaray won their 24th league title.
