Benfica has reached a preliminary agreement with Jose Mourinho, nearly three weeks after his dismissal from Fenerbahce.

Man Utd loanee Andre Onana made a costly mistake but was still named man of the match in Trabzonspor's 1-0 defeat to Fenerbahce in the Turkish Super Lig.

President Ali Koc spoke for the first time about the decision to part ways with Jose Mourinho, emphasizing that the manner of Fenerbahce's Champions League exit was unacceptable.

With $17 million in severance from Fenerbahce, Jose Mourinho has now received $125 million in contract termination fees throughout his career.

Fenerbahce announced the termination of their contract with 62-year-old coach Jose Mourinho this afternoon, 29/8.

With Fenerbahce's 0-1 aggregate loss to Benfica in the Champions League play-off round, Jose Mourinho's absence from the tournament extends to a sixth season, dating back to 2019-2020.

Jose Mourinho believes Lionel Messi has had the most significant influence on his managerial career, despite the two never having worked together.
