VIDEO: Jose Mourinho spotted in Istanbul airport waiting for flight to leave Turkey after being sacked by Fenerbahce

With Mourinho at the helm, expectations were high, but they were ultimately left unfulfilled, prompting the club to part ways with the highly decorated coach. The Portuguese has already packed his bags and was seen waiting inside the Istanbul Ataturk Airport. 

With the Special One now available, speculation about his next move has already begun. Mourinho, a Premier League legend, won three titles with Chelsea and has enjoyed success with Manchester United, where he lifted the League Cup and Europa League. Nottingham Forest have emerged as a potential suitor for Mourinho’s services, according to various reports. This will see him return to the English shores since he left Tottenham in 2021. 

If Forest do make a play for the veteran manager, they would be making a calculated decision, hoping to benefit from his wealth of experience in both the Premier League and European competitions. However, his previous tenures have often been marked by friction with players and management, a risk that Evangelos Marinakis will need to carefully consider.
