Istanbul. Portuguese Jose Mourinho finished as coach Fenerbahce Istanbul. The management of the club, which also operates the Slovak defender Milan Škriniar, announced it on its website.
The 60 -year -old coach has led the team since the season 2024/25. “We thank him for his efforts for our team and wish him a lot of success in his next career,” the club wrote.
Mourinh’s team occupied a place behind the city rival Galatasaray last season in the Turkish Super League. He secured his place in the Champions League qualifying, but in the playoffs he was not enough to Benfica Lisbon after 0: 0 and 0: 1 and will play the group phase of the European League.
Fenerbahce has four points from the opening two league matches of the season, and Sunday returns to the Genclerbirligi playground.
The Istanbul club has not won a title in the Turkish Super League since 2014, with the only great success for the past decade being the Turkish Cup in 2023.
Mourinho won 37 out of his 62 bench matches, which is a 59.7 percent success rate, adds The Athletic.
The Portuguese expert was once one of the most sought -after world football coaches, he won the trophies in Porto, Chelsea, Interi Milan, Reale Madrid and Manchester United.
However, as AP noted, its status is declining. The double winner of the Champions League has not been trained in the main phase of this most prestigious European club competition for six seasons.
The absence of Fenerbahce in LM has even extended to 17 seasons.
