‎Fenerbahce sack Mourinho after Champions League failure

‎Turkish giants, Fenerbahce Sports Club, have announced the departure of Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho, after just over a year in charge.

The Portuguese’s departure comes two days after the club were eliminated from the Champions League play-offs by Benfica.

‎In a statement released on Friday on its X account, the club said it had parted ways with the former Chelsea and Real Madrid boss, who took over at the beginning of the 2024/2025 season.

“Our professional football first-team’s technical director, Jose Mourinho, who has been carrying out his duties starting from the 2024-2025 season, has parted ways with us.

“We thank him for his efforts for our team until today and wish him success in his future career,” the statement read.

‎Mourinho, 62, joined Fenerbahce in June 2024.

However, his spell ended prematurely after a mixed run of results in domestic and European competitions.
