THE BIGGER PICTURE
Mourinho has been without a job since the start of the year when Roma unceremoniously sacked the veteran coach. He has been linked with multiple clubs including English sides. It was also reported that the 61-year-old wants to return to Old Trafford for a second chance.
WHAT HAS BEEN SAID
Speaking to reporters, Yildirim said: “I met Jose Mourinho face to face last week. I told him: ‘Fenerbahce needs you and you need Fenerbahce.’ He listened to me sincerely. My friends are talking to his agents. If we win, I will bring Jose Mourinho.”
WHAT NEXT FOR FENERBAHCE?
With only two games to go into the season, Fenerbahce currently find themselves six points behind league leaders Galatasaray whom they next face in the Turkish Super Lig.
