Turkish football club Fenerbahce parted ways with head coach Ismail Kartal on Friday, APA reports citing Anadolu Agency.

"Thank you for everything, İsmail Kartal!" the club said in a brief statement on X.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho has signed with the Istanbul club as manager on a two-year contract. "After verbal agreement in the morning, a deal sealed until June 2026 — a two-year contract for the Special One," Romano said on X.

Turkish Airlines, meanwhile, reshared on X its earlier TV commercial shot with Mourinho, who has also coached Chelsea. "Jose Mourinho's luggage has been seen at the airport! Where's the Special One headed next? Fly with Europe's best!" the national carrier wrote.
