While Fenerbahçe will look to challenge the supremacy of arch-rivals Galatasaray who yet again won the Turkish league. They amassed 102 points in the season to win the league and got the better of Fenerbahçe who had only lost one match in the domestic league season.

It is reported that Mourinho rejected offers from the Saudi Pro League to stay in Europe while he was never in negotiation with any English side. He was also linked with the vacant job at Bayern Munich, but once Vincent Kompany was confirmed as the manager of the side, the three-time Premier League champion decided to leave for Turkey.

The 61-year-old will work with players like Fred, Dusan Tadic, Edin Dzeko and other former Premier League stars.
