Sunday 2 June is a day that Turkish football will not easily forget. Jose Mourinhoone of the most successful coaches of all time, is the new coach of Fenerbahce: lo Special One was presented to the fans directly on the pitch of the Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium and signed his contract on the pitch in the company of president Ali Koç: “I’m here to help Turkish football and grow the championship, but the most important thing is the Fenerbahçe! From now on, your dreams are my dreams. Football is passion and I think I am in one of the best places to feel this passion I say with all my heart: I wanted to be here for your passion”, declared the Portuguese coach during the press conference, sending the many present inside and outside the stadium into raptures.
“I am now part of your family. This shirt will be my skin and bones. I would like to thank you for your love. I have deeply felt the love you have shown me since my name was linked to Fenerbahçe. Normally a coach he sees this love after it has been made official, but in this case I saw it before and it gives me a great responsibility.”
After the arrival of such an important coach, the Istanbul club is already thinking about moves for the transfer market, with the aim of interrupting the hegemony of Galatasaray, winner of the last two championships. The first name that Mourinho would bring as a gift is Paulo Dybalahis protégé in Roma: the Argentine could take the place of another old acquaintance from Serie A, that is Edin Dzeko, who seems destined for the Saudi Pro League after just one season, in which he scored 25 goals and provided 10 assists. The other objectives would be Alexander Sorloth, Robert Lewandowski and Romelu Lukaku.
