Jose Mourinho (62) failed to win the champion title in Turkey at the debut season on his bench Fenerbahcethe band from “Sukru Saracoglu” ending only in second place in Super Lig, after the great rival Galatasaray. However, “The Special One” will remain the team coach and has big plans for the next season, including a beautiful figure in the Champions League.
The full program of the first stage of the club world
The fact that he ended in the second position in the championship allows Fenerbahce to continue to dream of participating in the Champions League, only that unlike the Galata champion, Jose Mourinho's team will have to go through two preliminary rounds in order to obtain qualification in the most important interclub competition in Europe.
Of course, participation in UCL is not the only goal that Mourinho will have in the new season. There is also winning the championship, and for this, the officials of the Istanbul group plan an extremely active and spectacular summer in the Mercato area.
Jadon Sancho, Fenerbahce's main target this summer
According to the Milliyeta daily from Turkey, a few representatives of Fenerbahce are already in England, where they negotiate the arrival of Jadon Sancho on the Bosphorus.
The official response of the 25-year-old footballer is not yet known, it is certain that he will not continue in Chelsea and next season, after the Londoners refused to transfer it to Manchester United after the loan period.
Given that the purchase option was mandatory (30 million euros), the band on “Stamford Bridge” paid the “devils” a penalty of 5 million pounds for Jadon to return to “Old Trafford”.
Now, being again in the court of United, Sancho's future is one in the fog. According to the same source, the Manchester group would prefer to sell the English footballer this summer, because his contract will expire next year, and then the ones from United could lose him for free.
