The reason for the separation was the failure to qualify for the Champions League, where Fenerbahce stopped at the last step - in the play-off against Benfica.

Another odyssey of the once world's best coach has ended - Jose Mourinho is no longer the head coach of Fenerbahçe.

The legendary expert, who was spectacularly welcomed in Istanbul just over a year ago, leaves the "Şukru Saraçoğlu" stadium without a trophy, without any significant results.

The reason for the separation was the failure to qualify for the Champions League, where Fenerbahce stopped at the last step - in the play-off against Benfica.

"Our club and Mourinho, who has been the coach since the 2024/25 season, have mutually terminated their cooperation. We thank him for his contribution to our team so far and wish him much success in his future career," Fenerbahçe announced.

The career of the man who brought the Champions League trophy to Porto, as well as Inter Milan, and Chelsea the long-awaited domestic title, continues to decline after "The Special One" was fired at Tottenham, Manchester United, Roma...

However, such a name shouldn't have to wait long for a new job this time either, and according to English media, a return to the Isles, to the Premier League, could follow.

West Ham are reportedly following suit after apparently failing to land Graham Potter, while Nottingham Forest are also being mentioned, where the fate of Nuno Espirito Santo is uncertain after disagreements with owner Evangelos Marinakis.
