Jose Mourinho had a good time with Fenerbahce in Türkiye, and at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season the Portuguese coach was dismissed from coaching the Turkish team, after which he took over coaching the Portuguese team Benfica.

Real Madrid, today, is the club that took the bold step of appointing the Portuguese coach for a new term after he coached them for a period between 2011 and 2013.
