Mourinho makes a fortune if fired

Jose Mourinho is determined not to compromise with the Fenerbahce board after the two sides had negotiations about terminating the contract.

Mourinho wants full compensation if he leaves Fenerbahce.

According to Hurriyet, Fenerbahce President Ali Koc was disappointed after meeting with Mourinho earlier this week. Fenerbahce's board of directors hopes to reach an agreement to terminate the contract with the "Special One" early, to reduce compensation costs.

However, the Portuguese strategist confirmed that he wants to receive the full 15 million euros in compensation in the contract, if Fenerbahce fires him after this season.

His contract with the Turkish club has more than a year left. According to estimates from AS , Fenerbahce could have to pay a total of 30 million euros in compensation to Mourinho and his assistants if they are sacked after this season.

After losing 0-1 to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Besiktas in the 34th round of the Super Lig on May 4, Fenerbahce are likely to end the 2024/25 season empty-handed. Currently, Fenerbahce are 8 points behind leaders Galatasaray with only 4 rounds left.

After an impressive start, Mourinho's Fenerbahce fell apart in the decisive period. They lost to Galatasaray in the National Cup, were eliminated from the Europa League. At the beginning of the season, Fenerbahce also lost in the play-off round for a Champions League ticket.

According to inside sources at Fenerbahce, some members of the club's board of directors have called for the Portuguese coach to be fired. They argue that in addition to the club's poor performance on the pitch, Mourinho's actions since the beginning of the season have damaged the team's reputation.

Mourinho has been the center of controversy in Turkey throughout this season, due to unsportsmanlike behavior such as pinching Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk's nose, and making many disparaging and demeaning statements about the tournament.
