Jose Mourinho, dismissed by Fenerbahce after eliminating from the Champions League
The collaboration with Jose Mourinho, who held the position of head coach of our team starting with the 2024-2025 season, has ended.
We thank them for the efforts made so far for our team and we wish them much success in their career.
– PRESS Fenerbahce
Fenerbahce eliminated Feyenoord in the preliminary round in the Champions League, but he was in the play-off with Benfica.
He drew in the round with the band from Portugal, score 0-0, but he lost, score 0-1, after a modest game.
In the championship he drew on the move with Goztepe, score 0-0, and defeated Kocaelispor on his own ground, score 3-1. But it was not enough to save his post.
The news comes just one day after Beșiktaș broke up with Ole Gunnar S solskjaer, a technician expelled after eliminating from Conference League.
The former Chelsea manager, Manchester United and Tottenham arrived in Fenerbahce in the summer of 2024, six months after he had been dismissed from Rome. Twice the winner of the Champions League, Mourinho took the team from Istanbul to the second place last season.
However, he failed to win any trophy in his term in Fenerbahce, being eliminated in the quarters of the Turkish Cup and in the optimal Europa of Rangers.
Elimination from the Champions League was fatal
Fenerbahce lost the return of the Play-off of the Champions League with Benfica, score 0-1. The former star of Galatasaray, Kerem Akturkoglu, scored in the first half and sentenced Fenerbahce to another season in the Europa League.
Before the match, Fenerbahce's vice -president Hamdi Akin, confidently stated that his team will “beat you” Benfica.
Asked about Akin's statements, Mourinho surprised: “Believe it or not, but I do not know who he is. I do not know this person, nor his influence, let alone his importance in the club structure. No one ever introduced me.”
