Jose Mourinho is set to make a notable return to management by taking up the head coach position at Fenerbahce, according to reports. The renowned Portuguese manager, often referred to as “The Special One,” has allegedly inked a two-year deal with the Turkish football giants, marking his comeback after a hiatus following his dismissal from AS Roma in January.
Before diving into his new managerial responsibilities, Mourinho will engage with TNT Sports for their coverage of the highly anticipated Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund at Wembley this Saturday. This appearance signals Mourinho’s reentry into the football scene after a brief absence.
Mourinho’s new role at Fenerbahce comes amid speculation linking him to various prominent leagues. He was rumored to be a target for the Saudi Pro League and had been considered for a potential third tenure at Chelsea. Despite these possibilities, it is Fenerbahce who have successfully secured his expertise, offering him a platform to continue his celebrated career in European football.
In an interview earlier this year, Mourinho articulated his aspiration to focus solely on the role of head coach. He expressed a strong desire to develop players and prepare teams meticulously for matches. He emphasized the necessity of clear, realistic objectives from the club, aligning with his professional goals and expectations.
Mourinho’s illustrious career is highlighted by his three Premier League titles with Chelsea, alongside significant achievements with Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. As he steps into the managerial role at Fenerbahce, the football world will be keenly observing how he intends to enhance his legacy further.
