It was obvious that Jose Mourinho was finished at Fenerbahce the moment the full-time whistle blew in last month's Champions League qualifier at Benfica. However, it also felt like his time at the top was over, too, because Mourinho no longer seemed quite so special.
Jose Mourinho marked his Benfica homecoming with a simple sunrise post from the club’s training ground, captioned 'Good morning SL Benfica'. But his first update as Benfica coach sparked chaos online, as Fenerbahce fans swarmed his Instagram with angry comments after his remarks that managing the Turkish side was a 'mistake' and that the club was 'not his level'.
Fenerbahce president Ali Koc has finally explained Jose Mourinho’s sacking, describing it as a "bitter parting" but admitting his style of play was no longer acceptable. Mourinho, dismissed after only a year in charge, paid the price for his defensive tactics, with Koc insisting the team needed a more dominant approach going forward.
Rangers have been deemed "too small" for Jose Mourinho as the ex-Chelsea & Manchester United boss has been urged to return to England and chase a fourth Premier League title. Mourinho is once again at a crossroads in his storied career after being dismissed by Fenerbahce just 14 months into the role. The Turkish giants pulled the trigger following a crushing 1-0 Champions League play-off defeat to Benfica, a result that ended their hopes of dining at Europe’s top table this season.
Manchester City have confirmed the departure of Ederson, who has joined Fenerbahce in a €14million (£12m/$16m) transfer. After arriving at City from Benfica in 2017, the goalkeeper made 372 appearances across all competitions and won multiple trophies, including six Premier League crowns and the Champions League. However, he fell down the pecking order under Pep Guardiola at the start of the new season and decided to seek an exit.
