It s not a bad thing to be Mourinho s get out of class from Fenerbahce, God-given opportunity to return to the Premier League

Mourinho led Fenerbahce to lose to Benfica in the Champions League playoffs, failed to lead the team into the Champions League main match for two consecutive seasons, and was officially fired by Fenerbahce club the next day. This is the fifth time Mourinho has been fired by the club after Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma. But being fired this time may not be a bad thing for Mourinho, because he not only received about 15 million euros in termination compensation, but also may return to the Premier League to coach. However, his new club may not be the Manchester United that fans hope, but West Ham United, which is currently at the bottom of the Premier League, and his mission has also changed from the previous championship and four-year competition to relegation.

Although some fans said that Mourinho was dismissed from Fenerbahce because of his poor performance, there are two reasons: First, Mourinho led Fenerbahce to miss the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and second, Fenerbahce fell by as much as 11 points behind Galatasaray in the Turkish Premier League last season. Therefore, in the eyes of some fans, Mourinho has fallen from the Premier League to Serie A, then from Serie A to the Turkish Super League, and is now fired by the Turkish Super League team. It has been declining and has ended.

First of all, although Fenerbahce missed the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, she lost to Lille in the third round of the qualifying round last season. Lille was the fourth place in the Ligue 1 in 2023-2024. After eliminating Fenerbahce into the Champions League, she won the 7th place in the Champions League stage. Is Fenerbahce wronged to lose to Lille? Fenerbahce lost to Benfica in the playoffs this season. Benfica was the runner-up in the Portuguese Super League last season and also entered the knockout stage in the Champions League last season. It is currently ranked 21st in the world, with a net worth of 330 million euros. Fenerbahce ranks 45th in the world, with a net worth of 290 million euros. Is it unfair to lose to Benfica?

Speaking of the Turkish Premier League, in the 2023-2024 season before Mourinho coached, Fenerbahce lost only 1 game in the 38 rounds of the league, ranking second with 99 points, only 3 points behind Galatasaray; but in the 2024-2025 season coached by Mourinho, although Fenerbahce was still the runner-up in the league, he lost 4 games in the whole season, with only 84 points, 11 points behind Galatasaray. It seems that it is a lot worse, but you have to see which player Fenerbahce and what configuration Galatasaray is? Galatasaray's forward line is Osmeon and Icardi, while Fenerbahce's forward line is Ennesri and Dzeko, which is at least one level different.

Before coming to Fenerbahce, although Mourinho was dismissed continuously at Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma, Mourinho still won the 2014-2015 Premier League championship in the second phase of Chelsea. The dismissed was because of the outbreak of conflicts in the locker room caused by the team doctor; Manchester United also won the second Premier League and the UEFA Cup championship, but was dismissed because of the conflict with some Manchester United players led by Pogba; Tottenham also reached the League Cup final, which was dismissed because of the disagreement with Levi on the issue of the European Super League; Roma even won the first UEFA Champions League and the second UEFA Champions League. Although he is always fired, there are always teams who invite him to coach, which is enough to prove that Mourinho still has outstanding features.

This opportunity is here! After two rounds of the Premier League, the head coaches of five teams were in a crisis of dismissal, namely West Ham United coach Porter, Nottingham Forest coach Nuno, Brentford coach Andrews, Wolves coach Pereira and Manchester United coach Amorin. Among them, Wolves and West Ham United lost both games, with the bottom of the points, while Manchester United lost 1 and lost to the League Two team in the League Cup. Among the other two teams, Andrews was originally an assistant coach and temporarily became a regular, while Nuno was due to a tense relationship with club owner Marinakis. If these teams change coaches, it is not Manchester United who is most likely to invite Mourinho to coach, but West Ham United.

West Ham United's total value is 380 million euros, higher than Wolves, Fulham, Leeds United, Burnley, Bournemouth, Everton and Sunderland. The team has Bowen, Paqueta, Phil Kruger, Todibo and Wanbisaka. They also won the 9th place in the Premier League in the 2023-2024 season and won the 2022-2023 European Union Championship. Although West Ham United currently ranks at the bottom of the Premier League points, this is not a true manifestation of their strength. Since coach Porter became the team's head coach in January 2025, he has coached a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 12 losses, with a winning rate of only 22.7%, which is obviously unsatisfactory.

It is reported that before Mourinho was fired by Fenerbahce, West Ham United had contacted Mourinho through the middleman and Mourinho's agent. Mourinho was not opposed to coaching a Premier League relegation team. After Mourinho was fired by Fenerbahce, the biggest obstacle to Mourinho's return to the Premier League has been lifted. West Ham United will go to the third round of the Premier League to challenge Nottingham Forest away. Last season, the Hammers were double-killed by their opponents. If both sides perform normally, West Ham United may face a three-game losing streak. Porter is likely to be fired by the team after losing. Mourinho is the most likely to replace Porter as the new Hammer Swimmer.

From this point of view, Mourinho's dismissal of Fenerbahce may not be a bad thing, and it is even a god-given opportunity for him, and he may be a blessing in disguise and return to the Premier League. As for whether his new club is Manchester United or West Ham United, let's wait and see!
