Mourinho rumoured to leave Fenerbahce 

As Pulse Sports reported, Mourinho is set to leave the Yellow Canaries ahead of his contract expiration, following reports claiming he will resign from the role.

The 62-year-old joined the Yellow Canaries in the summer, signing a two-year contract. He was expected to stay the length of the deal, despite interest from elsewhere, following his revelation that he planned on returning to the Premier League upon expiration.

However, the Portuguese’s exit from the Yellow Canaries could be impending, as Turkish football journalist Yakub Cinar reported that the former Chelsea boss will leave Fenerbahce due to health reasons. There are also reports that his desire to leave the club is due to sporting reasons, as they are set to go trophyless this season after getting knocked out of the cup by Galatasaray, who are also five points ahead in the league title race.

What Joe Cole said 

Lending credence to the reports stating that Mourinho's exit is tied to sporting reasons, he has been linked with other jobs, with the Portuguese national team and Premier League clubs calling. 

Joe Cole, who played for Chelsea between 2003 and 2010, winning two league titles under Jose, said he wants the former Manchester United manager to return to England. 

"Genuinely, I think he's a genius,” Joe Cole said. “I really do hope we see him in the Premier League again. He still's got it and I would love to have him back on these shows. 

“He loves England. He loves London. Whichever club he comes to will get a real bounce. I think Jose will stay for the next five to 10 years. But three-four years, you are going to win something; he's your man."
