Jose Mourinho had been managing Fenerbahce since 2024, taking over after two years with Roma in the Serie A league. During his time with the Turkish club, he led the team in 62 games, winning 37 matches with a win percentage of 59.68%.

Despite his achievements, Fenerbahce's board has chosen to end their partnership with Mourinho. This decision may be linked to the team's performance in the previous season, where they finished as runners-up to their rivals Galatasaray, as well as their recent playoff loss.

Fenerbahce has expressed gratitude to Mourinho for his efforts during his tenure and wishes him success in his future career.
