The Portuguese manager's team finished 11 points behind champions Galatasaray and were also knocked out of the Europa League by Rangers.

What Mourinho said

After Fenerbahce's 2-1 win against Konyaspor, the former Manchester United, coach said that strange things happened during the season.

He also criticised Turkish football and its referees, contributing to a tumultuous campaign.

He said, “We finished second in the league, that wasn’t our goal. We actually had a good season until we lost the title. It was difficult to get the team back on track. Strange things happened in the league and also against Rangers. I can’t describe it. Overall, it was a disappointing season.

“When a new coach arrives, people get hope. If we compare this to the phase when there was no chance of winning the championship, people lose motivation, the stadium is empty and there are reactions.

"I don’t blame my players, they are human and professional. They are the first to feel sad about the bad results. I am not happy."

Mourinho's season with Fenerbahce was marked by controversy, including a ban for grabbing the nose of Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk and a feud with player Allan Saint-Maximin.
