Ali Koç, who is a candidate for the presidency of Fenerbahçe, wants to entrust the team to Jose Mourinho next season. On the other hand, it is also reported that the Yellow-Navy are in contact with the Portuguese coach’s student Romelu Lukaku.
Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç, who is running for the presidency again, wants to entrust the team to the famous Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho next season. Fenerbahçe, which is fighting for the championship in the Trendyol Super League, is planning to enter the season with Mourinho. Mario Branco, the sporting director of the yellow-lacivert team, is reportedly in contact with Mourinho in order to make a successful deal with him.
Mourinho’s situation and strategic moves
It is known that Mourinho, who is currently without a club, has also received offers from Saudi Arabia. Fenerbahçe board member Sadettin Saran is said to have played an important role in the negotiations with the Portuguese coach. It is also emphasized that Ali Koç will meet directly with Mourinho if a progress is made on financial issues.
Developments Related to Romelu Lukaku
Another big plan for next season is the transfer of Belgian star Romelu Lukaku. Chelsea reportedly had plans to sell Lukaku on loan for two seasons and then sell him on loan, but the English club is considering re-signing the player on loan as no team has yet come forward to meet the €40 million fee. Lukaku’s past connection with Mourinho is seen as an important factor in this transfer.
