José Mourinho Unveiled as Fenerbahce Coach in Grand Ceremony

Former Chelsea and Manchester United manager José Mourinho has been officially unveiled as the new head coach of Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce in a grand ceremony at their Sukru Saracoglu stadium in Istanbul.

The announcement of Mourinho taking over the reins at Fenerbahce came after days of speculation, with the Portuguese manager making a public appearance at the club’s Sukru Saracoglu ground amidst enthusiastic fans.

In a video message shared by Fenerbahce on social media, Mourinho expressed his excitement to begin this new chapter in Turkey and embrace the passionate Fenerbahce fan base.

Thousands of supporters gathered at the Ulker Stadium in Istanbul to witness Mourinho’s official signing ceremony, where the 61-year-old coach affirmed his commitment to the club and its supporters.

Club chairman Ali Koc welcomed Mourinho, praising his track record of success in world football and expressing confidence in Mourinho’s ability to lead Fenerbahce to victory.

Mourinho’s appointment comes following the departure of Turkish coach Ismail Kartal, who Fenerbahce parted ways with after just one loss in the previous league season.

Having last managed Roma before his tenure ended in January, Mourinho’s arrival marks his return to top-flight football in Europe, signaling a new challenge in the competitive Turkish Super Lig.

Fenerbahce, who finished as runners-up to Besiktas in the recent Turkish league campaign, will look to Mourinho to bring his winning mentality and expertise to the team as they aim to secure league success.
