Jose Mourinho, the renowned football manager, is poised to take charge at Fenerbahce, according to reports. The 61-year-old Portuguese coach has reportedly agreed to a two-year contract with the Turkish Super Lig club, marking his 11th managerial role.
Mourinho’s appointment follows his departure from AS Roma earlier this year, where he spent two-and-a-half seasons. Despite earlier speculation linking him to Saudi Arabian club Al Qadsiah, Mourinho’s next destination seems to be Istanbul.
Fenerbahce’s decision to bring in Mourinho comes after finishing second in the Turkish Super Lig for the third consecutive year. The club is seeking new leadership to propel them to success in the upcoming seasons.
Mourinho’s return to management comes after a five-month break, during which he expressed his eagerness to resume his coaching career. His upcoming role at Fenerbahce coincides with his recent announcement to join TNT Sports for coverage of the Champions League final.
While Mourinho had hinted at a potential managerial position in Saudi Arabia in previous interviews, his immediate focus is on rejuvenating Fenerbahce and aiming for glory in Istanbul.
Moreover, Mourinho’s arrival at Fenerbahce means he will manage players like Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel, who has also been linked with a move away from Turkey. With Mourinho’s wealth of experience and tactical acumen, Fenerbahce fans will be hopeful for a successful tenure under his leadership.
