José Mourinho, still as provocative, keeps talking about him, whether on the ground or outside. As a Fenerbahçe coach since June 2024, he has experienced some disappointments this season, especially in the Europa League where his team was eliminated in the round of 16 by the Glasgow Rangers.
However, in the championship, he led Fenerbahçe in second place, with 78 points, at five units from Galatasaray (83 points) when only three days left to play. Even if this European campaign is not the one he hoped for, the Turkish club is still well positioned to finish the season on a positive note.
“I have 25 pieces, I throw them in the air”
Recently, The Special One did not fail to show, once again, its sense of humor and derision when it was questioned at a press conference on the rotation of its compositions. Known for his scathing aftershocks and sarcasm, the Portuguese coach responded with his traditional irony.
“I have 25 pieces, I throw them in the air”he says first. “The players who stay on the table play and those who fall to the ground go on the bench. During the week, I have fun, I go to a nightclub and when you have to choose the team, I launch the pieces, it's simple ”adds the coach of the Turkish club. A typical response from Mourinho.
With a contract that runs until 2026, the football planet has not finished hearing about the Portuguese coach. His character and his methods continue to divide, but his statements never leave indifferent. If some appreciate his outspokenness and his harsh responses, others remain more skeptical about his choices and his way of managing the team.
