2 former MU coaches Solskjaer and Mourinho were fired, Amorim held his breath

Shortly after coach Solskjaer was sacked by Turkish club Besiktas for failing to help his team qualify for the Conference League group stage, coach Mourinho at Fenerbahce was in a similar situation. Both are former MU coaches.

Coach Mourinho unexpectedly leaves, will he return to Old Trafford to replace Amorim?

The news that coach Mourinho was fired by Fenerbahce was announced at noon on August 29 (Vietnam time). In the announcement, the Turkish team said that the Portuguese coach had proactively left the team. The main reason was that he could not help Fenerbahce reach the Champions League group stage (failed in the play-off round).

The 2025-2026 season is the second season that Mourinho has led Fenerbahce, and there have been some big signings in the ongoing transfer window, with a series of top stars joining such as Jhon Duran, Nelson Semedo, Milan Skriniar and Edson Alvarez recently.

However, Fenerbahce suffered a shocking defeat in their most important goal right at the beginning of the season, losing to Benfica in the two play-off matches (final score 0-1). As a result, they could not participate in the Champions League group stage, a prestigious arena and would bring in revenue for the Turkish team to offset the costs of buying players.

For that reason, the stormy relationship between coach Mourinho and Fenerbahce Club soon ended in disappointment. Last season, coach Mourinho's first time working in Türkiye created many fierce controversies, including times when he reacted violently to referees, causing animosity with rival club Galatasaray...

Saying goodbye to Fenerbahce, the 11th club in Mourinho's career, many rumors now say that this 62-year-old coach is being invited by many clubs in the English Premier League to lead. Among them is his old club MU, which is currently in crisis and considering parting ways with coach Amorim.

Besides coach Mourinho, coach Solskjaer is also another former MU player, considered a strong candidate to replace coach Amorim, once he is officially fired, if in the near future he still cannot revive the "Red Devils" of Manchester.

Coaches Mourinho and Solskjaer are the most recent coaches to have helped MU finish second in the Premier League, the best achievement since the brilliant reign of former coach Alex Ferguson (with 13 championships).
