Jose Mourinho 'agrees to become Fenerbahce's new manager

Jose Mourinho has reportedly reached an agreement to become the new Fenerbahce on a two-year contract.

Mourinho has been out of work since being sacked by Roma back in January and has since drawn links to Saudi Pro League clubs and international jobs.

However, Sky Sports' Gianluca Di Marzio has alleged that Mourinho has reached an agreement with Turkish club Fenerbahce on a 2 year contract.

Fener sporting director Mario Branco has allegedly been key to making the move possible with the switch expected to be officially announced by the Turkish giants later today.

Besiktas had also been linked with a deal for the former Chelsea and Real Madrid coach.

The Portuguese boss is set to replace Ismail Kartal at the Turkish giants, according to Gianluca Di Marzio, in what would be his 11th managerial role.

Mourinho succeeds the Turkish boss after Fener finished second in the Turkish Super Lig for the third successive year.

Fener have their presidential elections on the horizon, and both candidates had reportedly identified Mourinho as the perfect candidate to become the club's next manager.

The 61-year-old will link up with former Roma striker Edin Dzeko at Fener.

Mourinho has been vocal about his desire for an immediate return to management.
