Jose Mourinho has left his position as head coach of Fenerbahce, just over a year after taking charge.

The 62-year-old’s departure was confirmed by the Turkish club only two days after they were knocked out of the Champions League play-offs by Benfica.

In a statement, Fenerbahce said Mourinho had “parted ways” with the club and expressed gratitude for his work since arriving in the summer of 2024.

“Our professional football first team’s technical director, Jose Mourinho, who has been carrying out his duties since the 2024-25 season, has parted ways with us,” the club announced.

“We thank him for his efforts for our team until today and wish him success in his future career.”

Mourinho leaves Istanbul without delivering silverware, bringing his spell in Turkey to an abrupt end.
