A few days after the resumption of the Turkish championship, Jose Mourinho he released some statements taken from Fanatics: “I think we will train with the full team for the first time on Thursday. The players’ growth is quite good; of course, 12 points in 4 games would have been perfect, but we have to accept reality. In the Champions League we should have gone through, we have to accept that too,” he said of his Fenerbahce’s start to the season.
On the future: “My goal is to be successful at Fenerbahçe and they want me to stay for a long time. That’s my goal. I’ve had opportunities to coach a national team in the past, but I’ve always turned them down. It’s not a job that would make me happy: 1-2 games a month, traveling to see the players, waiting for tournaments… I have a lot of energy to spend right now. Maybe one day, when I’m old and tired, but not today.”
