Ex Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho breaks his reticence on his new position as Chelsea return verdict clear

Certain Chelsea supporters had harbored aspirations for Mourinho to make a third tenure at Stamford Bridge; however, that possibility appears to be non-existent.

Jose Mourinho has conveyed his interest in becoming a member of Fenerbahce subsequent to the Turkish club’s declaration that negotiations are underway.

Since Mauricio Pochettino’s dismissal last month, Mourinho’s return to Chelsea had been speculatively associated with the club. However, that possibility now appears to be nonexistent, as Enzo Maresca is poised to assume leadership. Ever since his dismissal from Roma in January on account of a succession of subpar performances, Mourinho has been without employment.

Although he has not established a new position since leaving Stadio Olimpico, it appears that a return to the touchline is imminent. Fenerbahce are steadfast in their pursuit of Mourinho’s services, despite the fact that they finished second in the Turkish Super Liga with a solitary loss in 2018.

The club last won the league championship in 2014, and they were defeated by Galatasaray once more after a season marked by six draws. Fenerbahce have now disclosed that they are placing their trust in Mourinho to end this losing sequence.

“Death negotiations have begun between our organization and Jose Mario Dos Santos Mourinho Felix for the position of football A team coach.” The club issued the following announcement regarding its investors: “The information has been provided to the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP).”

Mourinho is anticipated to sign a two-year contract with the Turkish club, which would bind him to the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium through the summer of 2026. The Portuguese manager has at last confirmed his desire to relocate to Istanbul by addressing the subject of his prospective departure.

“Having made the decision to go, it is not yet complete.” Although I cannot officially affirm, I do intend to attend. “Difficult, given that we still have three rounds remaining in [Champions League qualification],” he revealed to Sky Sports prior to the Champions League final on Saturday.

“Fenerbahce has eight players participating in the Euros.” It is difficult because they will not be attending preseason before the first round. However, I enjoy a challenge, so you can rest assured that we will fight diligently to qualify for the Champions League if I do go.”

The only noteworthy achievement for Fenerbahce in the past ten years was their triumph in the Turkish Cup in 2023; furthermore, the club advanced to the qualifying rounds of the Champions League. The group is now accompanied by one of the most esteemed managers in the sport of football.

Mourinho’s distinguished managerial career includes triumphs in the Champions League with Porto and Inter Milan, three Premier League titles during his two stints at Chelsea, a La Liga title with Real Madrid, and the Europa Conference League trophy during his debut season for Roma.

Sixth place was attained by Roma in both of Mourinho’s complete seasons in charge. However, despite this, he was terminated in January, with the club currently ranked ninth in Serie A. The renowned manager did not make this decision carelessly.

Mourinho lamented to Football.com: “An individual with limited football knowledge ‘eliminated’ me. That is life, full of ups and downs; notwithstanding the unanticipated and unjust termination, I am developing. But I will return to these UEFA contests with even greater confidence and enthusiasm.”
