Jose Mourinho has been officially appointed as the new manager of Fenerbahce, less than 24hrs of making headlines at Wembley.
Mourinho, 61, flew to Turkey after serving as a pundit for TNT Sports during the Champions League final at Wembley.
He replaces Ismail Kartal, who led the team to a second-place finish in the Turkish Super Lig last season, narrowly missing out on the title to Galatasaray.
The Special One has signed a contract that extends to 2026, with an option for an additional season.
This move comes after his departure from Roma in January.
Mourinho had been linked with several roles, including a potential return to Manchester United, before committing to the Istanbul-based side.
Fenerbahce’s second-place finish means they will enter the Champions League qualifying rounds.
Mourinho’s appointment reunites him with former Manchester United midfielder Fred, who had a productive season with Fenerbahce, contributing three goals and eight assists.
Mourinho will also have a number of former Premier League players at his disposal.
Among them is Michy Batshuayi, Dusan Tadic, Caglar Soyuncu, Cengiz Under, and Edin Dzeko.
