Double whammy for José Mourinho: the Portuguese coach beats his two former Italian teams with a transfer coup.
He just can’t sit still, rest and idle. Despite the many assignments, the enormous sums of money earned and the esteem at an international level, José Mourinho still wants to start coaching again. His new arrival is called Fenerbahce, an important Turkish club that chose Mou to try to win.
Presentation in great style and enthusiasm skyrocketing in Istanbul, where Mourinho has already been welcomed like a divinity. A bit like what happened in Rome, his last experience as a coach, which however ended prematurely with the shock dismissal last winter, due to results that were not too linear and positive.
Italy is the past for the ‘Special One’, who is now focused on doing well with the Turkish club. Starting with the transfer market choices: Fenerbahce will give Mourinho free rein on the choice of summer reinforcements. And a footballer chosen by the Portuguese it would represent a sort of defeat for the Italian clubsin particular the two led by Mou in the past in Serie A.
Mourinho has the attacker in his hands: his two former teams are ahead of him
According to the Spanish press, precisely from the sources of Todofichajes.com, Fenerbahce would be in pole position for the hiring of a low-cost center forward. A complete striker, with great international experience, who takes the name of Memphis Depay. The class of ’94, involved with his Netherlands at Euro 2024, is ready to release himself due to the imminent expiration of his contract with Atletico Madrid.
A defeat, the one managed by Mourinho, to anticipate, as mentioned, two clubs that have remained in his heart. In fact, Depay had also ended up in the sights of Inter and Roma, looking for an expert and technical striker to complete the department. The idea of signing this now 30-year-old talent on a free transfer tickled the Italians, but the Fenerbahce would have used better arguments.
As already anticipated, it would have been Mou himself who loudly asked for Depay’s hiring, knowing his qualities and the possibilities of inserting him as a protagonist in the Turkish team. The Dutchman would not even be the only coup attempted by Fenerbahce arriving from Madrid: in addition to him, defender Soyuncu and striker Morata have also ended up on the Portuguese coach’s list. Inter and Roma, on the other hand, will have to look elsewhere to strengthen their attack.
