José Mourinho sacked by Fenerbahçe, former Benfica man all smiles | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe's defeat at the Estádio da Luz against Benfica, which halted the Turks' progression to the regular phase of the Champions League, marked the end of Istanbul's emblem relationship with José Mourinho, who is thus fired from another club.

"We say goodbye to José Mourinho, who was the coach of our A professional football team since the 2024-2025 season. We thank him for his efforts for our team and wish him success in his future career", wrote Fenerbahçe on social media.

However, despite being out of work, José Mourinho still comes out on top from the severance with Fenerbahçe. According to the Turkish press, the Portuguese coach will receive a compensation of 15 million euros, thus raising to over 100 million euros the value of compensations he has already accumulated in his career.

When he left Roma in January 2024, José Mourinho had about 93 million euros paid by the clubs from where he had been fired, according to the 'Daily Mail'. Taking this into account, the 'Special One' has already accumulated, in seven dismissals, about 108 million euros.

Chelsea is the emblem that gave the most money to José Mourinho to compensate for his dismissal. In 2007, the 62-year-old coach received 20.9 million euros from the Londoners, and during his second stint at the club, where he was again forced to leave, he took with him 9.6 million euros. In total, the blues paid about 30.5 million euros in compensation to the Portuguese.
