Story

José Mourinho is talking with Fenerbahce about becoming their head coach. The Turkish Super Lig club confirmed this on Saturday. Mourinho wants to start coaching again after being fired by Roma in January. Fenerbahce wants him to lead the team because he has coached big clubs in Europe before. The team finished second in the Super Lig last season, just three points behind Galatasaray. If Mourinho gets the job, he will replace Ismail Kartal, the current Turkish manager. Kartal only lost one game in the league, but six draws hurt the team's chances of winning the title. Mourinho has won trophies with clubs like Porto, Chelsea, Inter, Real Madrid, and Manchester United. Fenerbahce hopes he can help them win their first league title since 2013-14. Mourinho has agreed in principle to join Fenerbahce after talks in London. He is eager to start working again after leaving Roma. The club has not won a league championship in 10 years and wants Mourinho to change that. He has managed many top clubs in Europe for the past 24 years and does not like taking breaks from coaching. Fenerbahce had a strong season last year but still finished second in the league. The fans protested against the club's leaders in Istanbul. The club president, Ali Koç, is under pressure to win the league title after finishing second for the past three seasons. Mourinho's move to Fenerbahce would be his 11th coaching job, including two stints at Chelsea. He has managed big clubs, but the rivalry between Istanbul's top teams is intense. Mourinho will also work as a pundit for the Champions League final. He has a deal with Turkish Airlines and will need to handle the Champions League play-offs right away if he joins Fenerbahce.
