José Mourinho has not spared surprises in his latest adventure. After his sudden dismissal from Fenerbahçe, the Portuguese coach, known as the "Special One", will benefit from around 15 million euros from the Turkish club, after his contract, which was valid until June 30, 2026, was terminated early.
This is a scenario that is often repeated in the career of the 62-year-old, who has made history not only with his numerous victories and trophies, but also with the record payments he has received from unexpected dismissals (unilateral terminations of contracts).
In total, Mourinho has benefited from over 108 million euros from contract terminations, an extraordinary figure, which makes him one of the "highest paid" coaches in this regard.
Today's release fee from Fenerbahçe adds to a long list of hefty payments for the "Special One".

Although the Turkish adventure did not bring trophies for Mourinho, his reputation remains intact.
Experience, titles won and the ability to manage large teams continue to make "The Special One" one of the most sought-after coaches in the world of football.
Football market analysts consider his agreement with Fenerbahçe as another confirmation of the trend: big clubs do not hesitate to pay a lot to have, or to fire, coaches with global names.
For Mourinho, every dismissal is not only a sporting loss, but also a considerable financial gain.
