Attention Benfica! Turkish press allege José Mourinho faces huge debt | OneFootball

The Turkish press accuses José Mourinho of leaving behind a debt of 747 thousand euros when he was dismissed from Fenerbahçe. The adventure of the current Benfica coach in Turkey did not go as well as hoped, and the red team's manager continues to deal with some situations from that period.

The news was reported by the Turkish newspaper 'Yeniçag Gazetesi'. While he was in charge of Fenerbahçe, José Mourinho spent much of his time staying in one of the most luxurious suites at the Four Seasons hotel in Istanbul.

José Mourinho spent 15 out of the 16 months he managed Fenerbahçe at the luxurious international hotel chain, and the bill kept piling up. At the end of his stay, the total amount reached 747 thousand euros, or 36.5 million Turkish lira, which remained unpaid to the Four Seasons Hotel in Istanbul.

It should be recalled that José Mourinho was dismissed from Fenerbahçe at the start of the current season, right after being eliminated by Benfica in the Champions League play-off. The red team's coach was thus entitled to receive compensation of around 15 million euros due to the termination of his contract before its end, in the summer of 2026.

Given the report by the Turkish press – where Ricardo Velho recently experienced a bizarre situation –, it remains to be seen who is responsible for paying the huge outstanding bill, whether it is the current Benfica coach, José Mourinho, or Fenerbahçe, the Turkish club that employed the Special One until the beginning of this season.
