Mourinho, 61, replaces Ismail Kartal, who left the club despite securing an impressive second-place finish in the league, just behind Galatasaray. Fenerbahce ended the season with only one loss and an impressive 99 points.
Mourinho, who has been without a job since being fired by Roma in January, brings a rich history of success to Fenerbahce.
He is known for his achievements in various leagues, being the only manager to win the Champions League, Europa League, and Europa Conference League.
Mourinho’s career started in Portugal with Benfica and has seen him win 21 major trophies during his time at Porto, Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

For Djiku, this is a special chance to work with one of football’s most successful coaches. The Black Stars defender has already made a significant impact at Fenerbahce, playing a key role in their strong league performance last season, even though they finished second to Galatasaray.
Fenerbahce has not won the league title since 2014, making it a big challenge for Mourinho to bring the trophy back. Djiku’s experience and defensive skills will be crucial in their quest for success under Mourinho.
Djiku is currently with the Black Stars, preparing for important 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Mali and the Central African Republic.
He will return to Fenerbahce after these international matches. Fans are excited to see how Mourinho’s leadership and Djiku’s contributions will shape the upcoming season, as Fenerbahce aims to reclaim its top spot in Turkish football.
