If Jose Mourinho wins the championship with Fenerbahçe in the Super League this season, he will achieve victory from behind for the first time in his career. The Portuguese coach has previously never relinquished the lead he took at the beginning of the season in any of his 8 league championships until the end of the season.
Fenerbahçe's head coach Jose Mourinho will achieve a first in his career if he leads the yellow-navy team to a happy ending in the league.
HE HAS NOT GIVEN UP LEADERSHIP IN 8 LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Portuguese coach has experienced 8 league championships in his illustrious career. The common feature of these championships is that the teams managed by Mourinho have not relinquished the leadership they seized at the beginning of the season until the end of the season.
HE COULD BECOME A CHAMPION COMING FROM BEHIND FOR THE FIRST TIME
However, the situation is different for Fenerbahçe. The yellow-navy team has not risen to the top spot this season. Although Galatasaray finished the first half of the season 8 points ahead, the gap has narrowed to 4 points in the last 7 weeks. If Jose Mourinho leads Fenerbahçe to the championship, he will achieve a happy ending from behind for the first time in his career.
FORM STATUS OF THE TWO TEAMS
The recent form status of the eternal rivals is also very different from each other. After the derby that ended 0-0 in the Super League, Galatasaray also lost 2 points against Kasımpaşa. The yellow-reds have drawn in their last 4 official matches and have only won 1 of their last 6 official matches. Fenerbahçe, on the other hand, has won 8 of its last 9 league matches. The yellow-navy team is also the only Turkish team continuing its path in the UEFA Europa League.
MOURENHO HAS 26 TROPHIES
The Portuguese coach has won 2 league championships with Porto, 3 with Chelsea, 2 with Inter, and 1 with Real Madrid. The total number of trophies in Mourinho's illustrious career is 26, including 2 Champions League titles.
THE ONLY COACH TO WIN ALL 3 UEFA TROPHIES
The 62-year-old coach is also the only person to have succeeded in winning all 3 UEFA tournaments. Mourinho won the Champions League with Porto and Inter, the Europa League with Manchester United, and the Conference League with Roma.
