get out of class again: The team misses the Champions League game, Mourinho is fired by Fernell Bachche

Mourinho was fired by the team after coaching for one season and the early part of the season. After missing the Champions League game in the new season, Turkish powerhouse Fenerbache fired the 62-year-old Portuguese coach Mourinho on Friday (August 29).

Fenelbachche announced the firing of Mourinho after losing to Portugal's Benfica in the Champions League play-offs 0-1 on Thursday (28th). "We have parted ways with Jose Mourinho, who has served as our professional A team head coach since the 2024-2025 season. We thank him for his efforts and wish him a smooth career in his future."

Mourinho has coached several European giants, including Porto, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma, and has led Porto and Inter Milan to win the Champions League.

Before he was fired, another Turkish powerhouse, Besiktas, also lost 1-2 to Swiss team Lausanne in the early hours of Friday morning. After missing the European Association League, he fired Solskjaer, who also coached Manchester United.

It is worth mentioning that after Fenerbachche fired Mourinho, their stock price, as one of the few listed football clubs, rose instead of falling, rising from the opening of 12.51 Turkish lira (about 0.39 SGD) to 13.38 Turkish lira, up nearly 7%, and fell back to 13.05 Turkish lira at the end of the press.

Dissatisfied with the poor transfer of management. Mourinho's tenure has been controversial during his tenure. Mourinho made a statement before the start of last season to win Fernell Bachche's first Turkish Super League championship since 2014, but the team can only be second in the Turkish Super League for four consecutive seasons, allowing Galatasaray to win three consecutive championships.

The coach nicknamed "Madman" has also caused a lot of trouble. For example, after losing to Galatasaray in the quarterfinals of the Turkey Cup in April this year, he was suspended for three games for pinching the nose of his opponent coach Buruk.

In his league with Galatasaray in February this year, he was also pointed out that he made racist remarks at his opponent, but Mourinho denied the charges and even sued Galatasaray. He also criticized the local referee in the same game, accusing the fourth referee of favoritism, and was suspended for two games.

However, I believe the main reason for his dismissal is related to his poor relationship with the team's management. Mourinho is reportedly unhappy with the management's slow operation in the transfer market this summer and has publicly complained about the limitations of the team's roster several times in recent weeks.

He said at a pre-match press conference for the team against Benfica this week: "If the Champions League is crucial to my club, there should be something to do in the transfer market between Feyenoord (the opponent of the previous qualifying round) and Benfica...but I don't think Fenerbachche has a transfer list."
