Jose Mourinho 'close' to replacing Roberto Martinez as Portugal manager with Fenerbahce boss set for shock Cristiano Ronaldo reunion

Super Lig

Gaziantep FK

Fenerbahce

<p>The Fenerbahce boss has been lined up by the Portuguese federation, <a href="https://cnnportugal.iol.pt/videos/o-processo-de-contratacao-de-mourinho-para-a-selecao-avancou-e-para-martinez-o-fim-da-linha-pode-acontecer-mesmo-que-ganhe-na-alemanha-a-liga-das-nacoes/67f582ae0cf20ac1d5f30131" target="_blank">report CNN</a>, who claim he will likely land the job this summer. It would see Mourinho reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo, who he managed for three seasons at Real Madrid between 2010-13.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Coaching Ronaldo is said not to be an issue for Mourinho, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jose-mourinho-lifts-lid-arguments-cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-coaching-portuguese-superstar-impossible/blt463d5eec227a18ec" target="_blank">despite the tension between the two from their time together at Real</a>. Taking over now would allow Mourinho a year with the national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup in North America.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Portugal's progression to the Nations League semi-finals in June is said not to have disrupted the talks with Mourinho. Martinez is set to take charge of that match - plus either the third-place play-off or final that follows - but the decision has supposedly been made to make the change afterwards.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>For now, Mourinho is focusing on Fenerbahce's bid to win the Turkish Super Lig. They sit three points behind Galatasaray with seven matches remaining. </p>
