Two days after Benfica knocked the Turkish club out of the Champions League playoffs, Fenerbahce fired Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho, according to a statement from the Turkish club.
“We have parted ways with Jose Mourinho, who has been our professional A team’s head coach since the 2024-2025 season. We applaud him for his contributions to our team and wish him the best of luck in his professional life,” Friday’s statement read.
The former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Roma coach, who arrived at the Istanbul club in June 2024, led Galatasaray’s Yellow Canaries to second place in the league last season but was unable to end their title drought.
During his time in Istanbul, the 62-year-old has suffered a number of setbacks. After falling to Galatasaray with a score of 2-1 in the Turkish Cup quarterfinals, he tweaked his nose and grabbed Okan Buruk’s face in April.
