As Galatasaray edges closer to league glory, tension is boiling over at Fenerbahce, with head coach Jose Mourinho now facing potential replacement talks behind the scenes.
Mounting pressure and divisions in the boardroom
Despite being publicly backed by club president Ali Koc, Mourinho’s position at Fenerbahce is looking increasingly unstable.
)
Following a painful derby loss to Besiktas, calls for resignations have grown louder, not just aimed at Mourinho but also directed at Koc and the board.
Internally, a growing faction is reportedly pushing for change, frustrated by the club’s poor results in key moments. The dream of a league title appears to be slipping away, with Fenerbahce now eight points adrift of Galatasaray and just four games left in the Super Lig season.
)
To make matters worse, European dreams also crumbled after a disappointing exit to Rangers. While Mourinho still has his supporters, recent performances mean that Mourinho’s future is being quietly discussed behind closed doors.
Two managers lined up for Fenerbahce job
Local media reports suggest that Fenerbahce is already considering alternatives in case Mourinho exits, either by dismissal or his own decision. Two names are on the radar: Türkiye national team coach Vincenzo Montella and former Besiktas boss Sergen Yalcin.
)
Despite being a foreigner, Montella is familiar with Turkish football, while Yalcin offers a local solution with experience managing pressure in Istanbul derbies.
Mourinho, for his part, is rumoured to have offers from Saudi Arabia and may choose to walk without demanding compensation.
)
If that happens, Fenerbahce may move swiftly to stabilise the team’s direction. For a club that expected silverware and resurgence under one of Europe’s most successful managers, this turn of events is nothing short of a crisis.
