An important claim has been made from Spain for Jose Mourinho, who became the head coach of "Fenerbahçe" at the beginning of the season and made headlines all over the world. The Portuguese coach has stepped into the evaluation phase of the offer.
Lent.az reports, citing Turkish media, that Jose Mourinho, who was eliminated from the Europa League by "Rangers", lost to "Galatasaray" in the Turkish Cup, and fell behind his rival "Galatasaray" in the Super League, has become the target of criticism from the yellow-navy blues.
After these results, the fans protested against the Portuguese coach, while President Ali Koç gave the message that they would continue with Mourinho next season as well.
Although Ali Koç stated that they will continue with Mourinho next season, an important claim has been made.
According to "Todo Fichajes", the Portuguese national team has put Jose Mourinho on the agenda. According to CNN and GOAL's assessment, this move is considered risky but strategic.
The Portuguese Football Federation is seriously considering the possibility of appointing Jose Mourinho as the head coach of the national team for the 2026 World Cup. Although head coach Roberto Martinez's work is considered sufficient, the federation believes that Mourinho's experience and character can make a difference.
Mourinho previously described becoming the coach of the Portuguese national team in 2007 as a dream. In 2019, he stated that he wanted to hold such a position before ending his career. More recently, he revealed that there was an opportunity in 2024 while he was coaching "Real", but the club's president Florentino Perez did not allow it at the time.
According to the news, the Portuguese Football Federation is even ready to pay the amount specified in the termination clause in Mourinho's contract with "Fenerbahçe"; This decision will depend on the results of the UEFA Nations League Final Four stage.
