Mourinho set to make administration return however followers are baffled by alternative of membership
Jose Mourinho is reportedly set to return to management with Turkish Super Lig giants Fenerbahce.
The Special One has been out of a job since January after he left Roma following successive losses against arch-rival Lazio in the Coppa Italia quarter-final and AC Milan in the league – which left the Giallorossi five points behind the Champions League spots.
But the 61-year-old is set to take charge of the tenth club in his career and the first team in Turkey. It was reported by Fabrizio Romano on Friday (May 31) that the Portuguese has a ‘verbal agreement’ with Fenerbahce for a two-year contract with an option to a third.

Mourinho has won trophies with every club he’s been with, apart from Tottenham Hotspur who sacked him days before the EFL Cup final against Manchester City in 2017, since he took charge of Porto in 2002.
His record as a proven winner will delight the Fenerbahce faithful with the club marking ten years without winning the Super Lig at the end of this season.

But they look set to go toe-to-toe with their rivals again after they incredibly finished 2nd last season despite reaching 99 points – the club’s joint highest-ever league points tally. As Galatasaray broke the competition’s record by winning the league with 102 points.
Ismail Kartal looks set to be replaced as Fenerbahce manager despite their incredible season last campaign after he signed just a one-year deal last summer following his return for a third spell at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium.
