From 2010 to 2013, José Mourinho managed one of modern football’s most iconic players, Cristiano Ronaldo, at Real Madrid. Although their partnership didn’t achieve the highest success at the time, "The Special One" still holds Ronaldo in high regard and is reportedly keen to reunite with him.
Details: According to The Sun, the Portuguese coach is interested in bringing Ronaldo to Fenerbahçe. Mourinho has reportedly spoken with his compatriot in an attempt to convince him to make the move to the Bosphorus.
Meanwhile, Fenerbahçe’s director of football, Mario Branco, has initiated talks with Ronaldo’s agent—who also represents Mourinho—Jorge Mendes. Notably, the 39-year-old forward is under contract with Al-Nassr until the summer of 2025.
Reminder: Mourinho recently stirred controversy in Turkey by claiming that the local league "doesn’t interest anyone."
