Jose Mourinho Confirms Staying at Fenerbahçe Next Season

Jose Mourinho has officially confirmed that he will remain as head coach of Fenerbahçe for the upcoming season, putting to rest speculation regarding his future. The Portuguese manager clarified his stance following statements made by the club president, Ali Koç.

Mourinho Backs President’s Public Statement

“The president clearly stated on TV that he wants me to stay and is counting on me for next season. The situation is very clear for me,” said Mourinho, addressing ongoing rumors.

Fenerbahçe president Ali Koç previously revealed that Mourinho had rejected a €36 million offer from another club midway through the season — a gesture widely viewed as a sign of loyalty and long-term vision with the Turkish side.

Fenerbahçe’s Ambitions and Upcoming Challenges

Despite finishing as Süper Lig runners-up behind Galatasaray, Fenerbahce faced criticism due to inconsistent performances late in the season.

The club now aims to qualify for the UEFA Champions League through the playoff stage — the same hurdle they failed to clear last season after losing to Lille.

With Mourinho’s future secured, Fenerbahce fans are hopeful the team can take a step forward in Europe under his leadership.
