Jose Mourinho, one of the most celebrated managers in soccer history, is at the center of an intense bidding war between Turkish soccer giants.
As the season draws to a close, speculation surrounding the Portuguese’s next move has reached fever pitch, with multiple clubs vying for his signature.
After parting ways with Roma in mid-January, the 61-year-old has been meticulously considering his next career step.
The “Special One” has been linked with several high-profile roles, including potential returns to Europe’s top five leagues and other lucrative offers. However, Turkey has recently emerged as a surprising but strong contender for his services.
What did Besiktas say?
Apparently, Besiktas, one of Turkey’s most storied clubs, have officially entered the race to sign Mourinho. The club’s vice-president Huseyin Yucel confirmed that they initiated contact with the coach a month ago.
According to Yucel, Mourinho welcomed their offer, and the financial aspects have already been settled. He stated, “We contacted Jose Mourinho a month ago, and he welcomed our offer. We already resolved the economic details and will go to Italy next week so we can meet face to face. If we reach an agreement with Mourinho, then we will recommend he include Ricardo Quaresma in the staff.”
Yucel also mentioned that a sponsorship agreement would cover Mourinho’s wages, minimizing the financial impact on the club. Fenerbahce, another Turkish Super Lig powerhouse, had previously vowed to lure the veteran as part of their presidential election campaign. However, despite the publicized intent, it appears Besiktas are now in a stronger position to secure the Portuguese manager’s services.
