Fenerbahce has already signed their new head coach Jose Mourinho for a two-year deal. The Portuguese coach despite having linked with Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs decided to stay in Europe. The Turkish who finished 2nd in the Turkish Super League with 99 points and lost just one game in the season, previously agreed terms with the former Chelsea manager and now the manager has also signed a contract with the club. 

The 61-year-old manager has been on holiday as he was present in the finals of the UEFA Champions League between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid. He went on to witness his former club winning their 15th UCL title on Saturday at the Wembley Stadium. The manager ahead of the game was in talks with TNT Sports and had a conversation with former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand. 

During a conversation, Mourinho was asked a question by the former United defender. Rio asked the manager, 'Who is the most important number he has on his phone currently?' He revealed to TNT Sports his contact with the president of Fenerbahce is presently the most important phone number in his contact. After answering the question both the pundits burst out in laughter.

Will Mourinho succeed in Turkey?

Previously on the show, Laura Woods asked him about one aspect of the Spanish side’s club selection. When asked by TNT Sports anchor Woods who he would choose for the game between the two keepers Thibaut Courtois or Andriy Lunin, Mourinho said, "The best." The Portuguese responded in a funny way, and Ferdinand broke out laughing. 

On Saturday night, Fenerbahce posted a video message from Mourinho, in which he told Fenerbahce fans he would “See you tomorrow in Kadikoy and let’s start our journey together.” This is the first time since Porto that he will be managing a side which is outside of the top 5 leagues in the world. The manager previously had challenges, but he did not let down his team whenever he took over the responsibility.
