Jose Mourinho, the former Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham manager set to take charge of Fenerbahce after being sacked by Roma in January.
The 61-year-old manager is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with the Turkish Super Lig side, with an option for a third year. Despite Fenerbahce finishing second in the Turkish Super Lig this season, Mourinho’s arrival signals a new era for the club as they prepare to compete in Champions League qualifying matches.
While Mourinho is yet to arrive in Istanbul, the final touches are being put on the paperwork for his agreement, which could potentially extend his tenure until the summer of 2027.
Fenerbahce’s impressive performance this season, amassing 99 points with just one loss in the Super Lig, showcases their strength but also underscores the need for managerial change, resulting in the departure of former head coach Ismail Kartal.
