Mourinho sacked by Fenerbahçe, Sporting could lose out | OneFootball

Official: José Mourinho has been fired from his coaching position at Fenerbahçe and the Turks' interest in Geny Catamo could be back on the table

It's official! José Mourinho is no longer the coach of Fenerbahçe. The Portuguese coach did not survive the Champions League elimination, after the defeat in the qualifying play-off against Benfica last Wednesday. This decision may influence the accounts of Sporting, with the interest in Geny Catamo being back on the table.

“We say goodbye to José Mourinho, who was the coach of our professional football team A since the 2024-2025 season. We thank him for his efforts for our team and wish him success in his future career,” wrote the Istanbul emblem, through a statement on its official social network ‘X’ account.

The dismissal of José Mourinho from Fenerbahçe could influence Sporting's market, since the Turks were one of the emblems interested in buying Geny Catamo, along with Galatasaray and Aston Villa. However, the Portuguese coach denied any interest in the Mozambican winger.

“I think that Geny Catamo is not on Fenerbahçe's list. Honestly, I think there is no list. I think no player is coming in now. It's nonsensical. I think there is nothing with Geny,” said José Mourinho, in his last press conference, which was in preview to the match with Benfica.

This season, with the Sporting jersey, Geny Catamo - valued at 15 million euros - has already played four matches, always as a starter. In the 278 minutes he was on the field, the left-footer has not yet managed to score any goal or assist for Rui Borges' team.
