During TNT Sports’ Champions League final coverage at Wembley, Jose Mourinho effectively confirmed his imminent appointment as the new manager of Fenerbahce. The 61-year-old Portuguese coach, sacked by Roma in January, has been heavily linked with the Turkish giants.
While serving as a pundit, Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand asked Mourinho, “Who is the most famous person in your phonebook?” After a moment of confusion, Mourinho humorously replied, “At the moment it is the president of Fenerbahce,” eliciting laughter from Ferdinand and a snigger from Mourinho himself. Mourinho has been linked with various roles recently, including the sporting director position at Saudi Pro League side Al-Qadisiyah.
He outlined his expectations for his next job in an interview with The Telegraph, emphasizing the need for realistic objectives. “The only thing I want is that the targets and the objectives have to be established by everyone in a fair way,” he stated. Mourinho stressed the importance of achievable goals, reflecting on his time at Roma where he led the team to a European Cup final, surpassing expectations.
