Jose Mourinho has been sacked as head coach of Fenerbahce.

The 62-year-old’s departure comes two days after the Turkish club failed to qualify for the Champions League league phase following defeat to Benfica in the play-off round.

Former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham manager Mourinho was appointed to the role ahead of the 2024-25 season.

Fenerbahce finished second in the Super Lig last term, 11 points adrift of rivals Galatasaray.

“We have parted ways with Jose Mourinho,” read a club statement.

“We thank him for his efforts for our team and wish him success in his future career.”

The news comes a day after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who replaced Mourinho as United manager in 2018, was sacked by Fener’s Super Lig rivals Besiktas.
