After much controversy that has continued in recent days, Jose Mourinho has made his final decision regarding his future with Fenerbahçe.
The Portuguese coach failed to win any titles during his first season, and it has become clear that he has lost a significant portion of the massive administrative support he has enjoyed since the summer of 2024.
Mourinho was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia or to coach the Portuguese national team, and initial indications were that he would leave Fenerbahçe after the disappointing season.
However, as ESPN revealed, Mourinho has decided to complete his contract with Fenerbahçe and remain until the end of next season.
Mourinho believes his work is not fully done in Turkey, and that he must deliver a title for Fenerbahçe and reconcile the fans. He also believes he has the potential to respond to the harsh criticism he has recently faced.
The “Special One” will need new support from the management to build a strong team capable of competing with Galatasaray, winning domestic titles, and going far in Europe.
It’s worth noting that Portuguese media previously reported that the national team’s loss in the UEFA Nations League would lead to the dismissal of Roberto Martinez and the appointment of Mourinho, but with the Real Madrid coach’s historic decision, things may change.
