Following the departure of manager İsmail Kartal from Fenerbahçe, which finished the season in second place in the Süper Lig with 99 points, the club appointed world-famous Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho to lead the team.

An open-to-the-public signing ceremony was held yesterday (June 2) at the Şükrü Saraçoğlu Stadium for the 61-year-old manager.

MOURINHO: I AM NOW PART OF YOUR FAMILY

In his statement at the signing ceremony that tied him to the Yellow-Navy colors for 2 years, Jose Mourinho said, "First of all, I want to thank you for your love. I felt the love you showed from the very first moment my name was linked with Fenerbahçe. Normally, a manager sees the love after achieving a victory, but I have already felt it. It gives me a great responsibility. I promise you that from this moment on, I am part of your family."

THE FATIH TERIM DETAIL IN THE TRANSFER

While Mourinho's arrival at Fenerbahçe has caused a wide stir in the world press, a striking claim has been made regarding the transfer in question.

According to a report by Milliyet; after receiving the offer from Fenerbahçe, the Portuguese manager called his close friend Fatih Terim to seek his opinion. He asked Terim about Fenerbahçe before coming. The Portuguese manager received the response, "Go without a second thought."
