Jose Mourinho was given a “wild” welcome as Fenerbahce introduced him as their manager, with lit flares and a crowd of thousands cheering at a packed stadium. The former Manchester United and Chelsea boss was welcomed with thunderous chants amidst extraordinary scenes in Turkey.
Hours earlier on Sunday, the club and Mourinho officially confirmed his appointment, stirring up supporters for the excitement that followed. In a video message, the 61-year-old former Real Madrid manager said, “Merhaba [Hello] Fenerbahce fans. See you at Kadikoy and let’s start our journey together.”
Mourinho arrived in Turkey after his appearance as a pundit for TNT Sports during Real Madrid’s 2-0 Champions League final victory over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.
The Portuguese manager has been away from the sidelines since his dismissal by Roma in January.
It is reported that the former Tottenham Hotspur boss has agreed to a contract until 2026, with the possibility of extending for another season.
One observer commented on Mourinho’s reception: “Only a true legend could generate such excitement on a Sunday afternoon in Turkey. Jose Mourinho embodies a movement and a way of life.”
Another fan exclaimed: “The atmosphere in the stadium is incredible!”
And a third fan wrote: “Next season promises to be thrilling.”
