Overview

  • Fenerbahçe announced Friday that José Mourinho has been dismissed days after a Champions League play-off defeat to Benfica.
  • Beşiktaş removed Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer shortly after a home loss to Lausanne ended their Conference League bid.
  • The back-to-back decisions arrived within roughly 24 hours, leaving two of Istanbul’s biggest teams without head coaches.
  • Neither club has named a successor, and both return to Süper Lig action this weekend with interim plans yet to be detailed.
  • Reports highlight Mourinho’s recent criticism of Fenerbahçe’s board and his prior suspension over racism allegations; a claim of a multi‑million‑euro severance appears in a single source and remains unconfirmed.
