Is the Mourinho chapter closing at Fenerbahçe?

Fenerbahçe failed to end its Champions League drought after losing 1-0 to Benfica in the second leg of the play-off round. Following the major disappointment, the most discussed figure has been head coach Jose Mourinho. Within the management, it is being said that parting ways with the Portuguese coach is now "inevitable."

MOURINHO'S TRANSFER COMMENTS WERE THE LAST STRAW

Targeting the management with his statements before the Benfica match, Mourinho made remarks about "lack of planning and inadequacy" regarding transfers.

The famous coach's following words were widely discussed:

"If the Champions League were of vital importance to my club, something would have definitely been done in the period between the Feyenoord and Benfica matches. We are not interested in Geny Catamo; he is not on our list. Honestly, I don't even think there is a list. I don't think any players will be transferred."

It is stated that this outburst has brought relations with the management to the breaking point.

JOINT DECISION BY EXECUTIVES: "PARTING WAYS"

It is claimed that almost all Fenerbahçe executives are in agreement about parting ways with Mourinho. Therefore, all eyes are now turned to President Ali Koç. If Koç gives his approval, the club will bid farewell to the Portuguese coach.

ALLEGATIONS OF "DISTORTING THE TRUTH"

It was stated that following Mourinho's transfer outbursts, executives believe the experienced coach is not reflecting the truth. The yellow-navy executives, arguing that the Portuguese coach did not clarify his demands, voiced the following claims:

"We asked him repeatedly which positions he wanted players for and which players he wanted. Other than Milan Skriniar, he did not provide a single name. If transfers were not made, the responsibility for that lies not with us, but with Mourinho himself."
