The club management is dissatisfied with the results of the team on the results of the 2024/25 season and considers the option with the invitation of another mentor. The problem is the compensation that is prescribed in Mourinho’s contract.
Under the terms of the agreement, in the case of early termination, Fenerbahche is obliged to pay the Portuguese 15 million euros. The Turkish club cannot afford to spend such money, so he does not know what to do with the trainer.
The main contender for replacement of Jose is Ismail Kartal, who currently heads the Iranian “Persepolis”, and earlier worked in the structure of “Fenerbahche”.
In the 2024/25 campaign, Mourinho’s wards failed to select the championship title from Galatasaray and completed the championship in second place. The lag from the leader was 11 points.
