109 million euros! Mourinho s total liquidated damages rank first in history and may return to the Premier League next stop

On August 29, the Turkish Super League giant Fenerbahce officially announced that Portuguese Mourinho will no longer serve as the first team head coach, and wish him all the best in the future. It is worth mentioning that this termination of the contract gave Mourinho a 9 million euro compensation. This also brought the total liquidated damages in his coaching career to 109 million euros, ranking first in football history.

62-year-old Mourinho only served as the head coach of Fenerbahce last summer, but was eventually left with 11 points by his arch rival Galatasaray and only won the runner-up in the Turkish Premier League. In addition, in the Turkish Cup and Europa League, Fenerbahce also stopped in the quarterfinals and the quarterfinals. In fact, before last season ended, Fenerbahce intended to terminate the contract with Mourinho in advance, but the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the penalty clause, and the matter of the cessation was temporarily left unresolved.

This summer, Fenerbahce signed powerful new players such as Duran, Semedo, Archie Brown, Amrabat and Nene, and bought out Slovakia's central defender Skriniar, whose strength was further enhanced. However, in the just-concluded Champions League play-offs, Fenerbahce lost 0-0 at home and 0-1 away to Portuguese Super League giant Benfica and was eliminated. This defeat also made Fenerbahce finally make up his mind to part ways with Mourinho.

In fact, according to the contract, Fenerbahce, who proposed to terminate the contract, needs to pay Mourinho a severance fee of up to 15 million euros, but according to the famous Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the severance fee received by Mourinho is 9 million euros. Although this is also a big number, it still has a significant drop compared to 15 million euros, which may be the result of compromise between the two sides.

But even so, Mourinho's trip to Turkey is worth the trip. Not to mention the others, at least he earned a considerable penalty for liquidated damages. This is the seventh liquidated damages he made in his coaching career. As a world-class coach who once stood out with Guardiola, Mourinho has left his own footprints in many European giant teams. However, due to his unruly personality and coaching record of first promoting and then suppressing, he was also fired many times. On September 20, 2007, Chelsea announced that it would terminate its contract with Mourinho, who had coached the team for more than two seasons. The madman left Stamford Bridge with his head high and received a severance payment of up to 21 million yuan.

In the following time, Mourinho became Inter Milan's head coach. On the 2009/10 season, he announced that he would leave the team to serve as Real Madrid coach. For this purpose, Real Madrid also paid Inter Milan a penalty of 16 million euros. In the summer of 2013, Mourinho terminated his contract with Real Madrid early due to his poor record and received a penalty of 20 million euros.

Also that summer, Mourinho entered the palace for the second time and re-coached Chelsea and led the team to the Premier League championship in the 2014/15 season. However, in the 2015/16 season, he still did not escape Mu's three-year curse. After only 15 points in the first 16 rounds of the Premier League, Mourinho, who was out of control in the locker room, completely lost the trust of Chelsea executives. On December 17, 2015, the Portuguese drove away from Stamford Bridge and was photographed suspected of crying. Of course, I wonder if the 14.5 million euros severance payment paid on the bank card will make him feel better.

After that, Mourinho also coached at Manchester United, Tottenham and Roma, but all were dismissed early without exception, but at the same time, he also received 20 million euros, 21 million euros and 3.5 million euros respectively. With the 9 million euros given by Fenerbahce, Mourinho will not say anything else, at least no one can surpass the liquidated damages, especially his old rival Guardiola, who has not even obtained a liquidated damages for so many years in coaching.

However, from the top giants in the five major European leagues to the second-rate European leagues, Mourinho's coaching career decline is still very obvious. So whether he can continue to work and continue to receive liquidated damages is also a concern for everyone. The latest news is that the Premier League Hammers, which has a poor record since the start of the new season, has regarded Mourinho as a lifesaver. It seems that the Magic Birds have another chance to increase their total liquidated damages.
