Jose Mourinho is set to be reunited with his Manchester United ally at Fenerbahce.

The Portuguese has been out of a job since he was sacked by Italian Serie A side AS Roma back in January.

However, this week, it emerged that Mourinho had become the front-runner to take over at Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce.

On social media, transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote: “Fenerbahçe are closing in on the agreement to appoint Jose Mourinho as new head coach! Mourinho has already said YES.

“Verbal agreement in place and contract now being reviewed by Mourinho’s camp. The announcement can take place today, as revealed by @abolapt.”

Ahead of his move to Turkey, it has been claimed that Mourinho will take a United ally with him.

As reported by The Telegraph, the 61-year-old is set to take former assistant Ricardo Formosinho with him. The pair last worked together at United and Tottenham Hotspur.

The report stated: “Mourinho is expected to take a familiar staff with him including Formosinho, 67, a former Portuguese player and manager who first worked with Mourinho as part of his staff 20 years earlier when they won the Champions League with Porto.

“Other Mourinho staff are expected to be regulars such as fitness coaches Carlos Lalin and Stefano Rapetti and analyst Giovanni Cerra. All worked with Mourinho at his previous job at Roma. Fenerbahce will announce a full staff roster, including those staying at the club from the previous regime, when they make the official Mourinho appointment announcement in the next 48 hours.”

Speaking about his move ahead of the Champions League final, Mourinho said: “I decided I want to go but it is not done yet. I cannot confirm officially, but yes I want to go.

“In Fenerbahce's case, eight players are in the Euros. They are not coming for pre-season before the first round so it's hard. But if I go, you know I like challenges, so if I go you know we will fight hard to be in the Champions League.”
