The future of José Mourinho at Fenerbahçe continues to be a topic of debate in Turkey. Although the club has publicly expressed its intention to keep the Portuguese coach at the helm of the project, the possibility of an early departure remains. However, it will not be a simple or economical decision for Mourinho himself.
Ali Koç, president of the Turkish club, has been clear in explaining the coach's contractual situation: if he decides to leave the team prematurely, he would have to give up a substantial amount. Specifically, he would need to forfeit the €10.5 million equivalent to a full year's salary, highlighting the financial commitment involved in any separation between both parties.
Fenerbahçe Wants to Keep Mourinho
Despite rumors linking him to the Portuguese national team for the 2026 World Cup, Koç has emphasized his desire to continue with the coach: "We want to keep Mourinho, but the final decision also depends on him," he stated. Furthermore, he revealed that during the season, the coach received an offer of €36 million, yet chose to stay.
Mourinho's time in Istanbul has seen mixed results. While remaining in contention for the domestic title, early exits in European competitions and the Turkish Cup have raised doubts. Now, with such a high clause at stake, the next step will solely hinge on the 'Special One's' willingness.
