'It's not done yet' - Jose Mourinho denies he has joined Fenerbahce despite claims he has already signed contract

The experienced Portuguese manager, who has been out of work since his dismissal from Roma in January, is seemingly close to making a return to management. Although the club <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/special-one-back-jose-mourinho-returns-management-fenerbahce-former-chelsea-real-madrid-boss-two-year-contract/blt0557a3e5cd598380#csda3018a0cc8dd449" target="_blank">confirmed the ongoing negotiations in a statement to its investors</a>, Mourinho informed that the deal is not yet closed.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Fenerbahce have been actively pursuing Mourinho as they look to end their league title drought that dates back to 2014. Despite a strong campaign in which they collected 99 points and suffered only one defeat, Fenerbahce finished as runners-up in the Turkish Super Lig, narrowly missing out to fierce rivals Galatasaray. The club is hopeful that Mourinho's vast experience and tactical acumen will help them reclaim the domestic crown.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"I decided I want to go but it is not done yet. I cannot confirm officially, but yes I want to go," he told <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/video/30964/13146545/jose-mourinho-closes-in-on-fenerbahce-move-i-want-to-go-but-it-s-not-done-yet" target="_blank">Sky Sports.</a> "In Fenerbahce's case, eight players are in the Euros. They are not coming for pre-season before the first round so it's hard. But if I go, you know I like challenges, so if I go you know we will fight hard to be in the Champions League."

WHAT MOURINHO SAID

If Mourinho does finalize his move to Fenerbahce, he is expected to sign a two-year contract, which would keep him at the club until the summer of 2026. With a squad that already showed great promise last season, the addition of Mourinho could be the catalyst they need to finally overcome their domestic hurdles and make a significant impact in European competitions.

DID YOU KNOW?

Should Mourinho join Fenerbahce, it will mark <a href="https://www.goal.com/lists/jose-mourinho-outlines-what-requires-next-job-ex-chelsea-real-madrid-boss-return-management/blt18d87686d5a7b7fb" target="_blank">another exciting chapter</a> in the illustrious career of the "Special One," whose managerial journey has been anything but ordinary. His years in coaching <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/when-did-jose-mourinho-last-win-a-trophy-former-spurs--man-utd-managers-silverware-record/102zrjaaebdzd1v5k0ge5lpbmw" target="_blank">have been marked by stellar achievements </a>across several top European leagues as he has won the Champions League with both Porto and Inter, secured three Premier League titles during his two stints at Chelsea, and won La Liga with Real Madrid. His time at Roma was also noteworthy, as he led the Italian club to their first European trophy by winning the Europa Conference League in his debut season.
