After a four-month absence from management, Jose Mourinho is set to make his return, this time as the new manager of Fenerbahce in Turkey.
The 61-year-old’s appointment marks his first managerial role in the country.
Fenerbahce experienced a remarkable season, amassing 99 points from 38 Turkish Super Lig matches, narrowly missing out on the title to Galatasaray, who secured a stunning 102 points.
Despite their impressive performance, current manager Ismail Kartal will be replaced by Mourinho.
Mourinho’s tenure at Roma, which ended in January, saw him guide the team to victory in the Conference League in 2022 and reach the Europa League final in 2023 before his dismissal.
Following his departure from Roma, Mourinho was linked with a return to the Premier League, with both Chelsea and Newcastle United expressing interest.
Speculation surrounding a potential move to Newcastle United grew, despite Eddie Howe’s secure position as head coach.
Similarly, rumors of a surprising return to Chelsea circulated, underscoring Mourinho’s continued relevance in the European football landscape.
Mourinho’s contract with Fenerbahce spans two years, during which he will lead the team into the revamped Champions League next season.
