Six months after his dismissal from Roma, Jose Mourinho has finally found a new job, and the former hottest top manager in Europe is now no longer in the limelight, and he can only pan for gold in the low-level league.
Recently, Jose Mourinho accepted an invitation from Turkish Super League giants Fenerbahce FC to become the new manager of this Turkish Super League giant. The addition of Mourinho has also caused the Turkish Super League to receive a sharp increase in attention.
Mourinho's annual salary at Fenerbahce is reported to be as high as 12 million euros, which is enough to prove how seriously the Turkish Super League giants value Mourinho. Fenerbahce's goal is not just to stay on top of the domestic league, they want to do wonders in the Champions League.
In order to achieve good results in the Champions League, Fenerbahce's hierarchy has given Mourinho a great deal of transfer decision-making power, which allows Mourinho to build his squad according to his tactical philosophy.
According to the latest news released by some British sports media, Mourinho has targeted his disciple when he coached the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur - Son Xingmin after joining Fenerbahce. Son Heung-min is currently the best player in all of Asia, and although he is about to turn 32, he has been in excellent form in the Premier League this season, contributing 17 goals and 10 assists for Tottenham.
Despite his impressive form, Son Heung-min's contract with Tottenham Hotspur is expiring and, given his age, Tottenham may opt to sell him this summer in order to avoid the Asian number one leaving for free when his contract expires.
According to the data of the famous transfer hope website - German transfer network, Son Xingmin's current transfer value is as high as 45 million euros. And in order to get Mourinho's former lover, Fenerbahce is willing to pay him a transfer fee of up to 50 million euros. Son Heung-min's move to Fenerbahce not only means that he can re-work with his mentor, but also that he will be able to play in the Champions League next season, which is undoubtedly a huge attraction for Son Heung-min, who has always dreamed of participating in Europe's top competitions.
In addition, Fenerbahce's strong strength in the Turkish Super League also gives Son Heung-min a great opportunity to win the top league title. Despite playing in Europe for many years, Son, like Kane, has never won a title in an official match. After joining Fenerbahce, if he can win the championship with the team, it will also be the first top league title in Son Heungmin's European career, which is of great significance to his personal career.
From another point of view, if Son Heung-min chooses to renew his contract with Tottenham Hotspur to stay in the Premier League, then next season, he and Tottenham will have to face competition from Premier League giants such as Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, and winning the championship is basically an impossible task. Therefore, joining Fenerbahce is a strategic choice for Son Xingmin to retreat.
Although there is still a lot of uncertainty about Son Heung-min joining Fenerbahce, joining forces with Mourinho again will undoubtedly bring a lot of attention to Turkish football. Considering Fenerbahce's dominance in the Turkish Super League and Mourinho's coaching ability, Son Heung-min is very hopeful of winning the league title under Mourinho and ushering in a new peak in his career.
