Acun Ilicali, the owner of Hull City, is reportedly very influential in Jose Mourinho’s choice to return to football management. The Portuguese manager was fired by Roma in January, and he hasn’t had a job since. Many people anticipated that the former manager of Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United would relocate to Saudi Arabia due to connections to several positions in the Saudi Pro League.
He appears to have agreed to a two-year contract with Fenerbahce, the Turkish powerhouse, according to sources from Turkey and Italy. Acun Ilicali, the owner of Hull City, reportedly assisted in the deal’s negotiation, according to Turkish publication Haber.
Naturally, the Tigers captain enjoys immense fame in Turkey. He also maintains tight relationships with Fenerbahce and is friendly with Mourinho. According to the report, he played a crucial role in the background that made the deal possible. Mourinho will be responsible for leading the team back to the top of the Turkish league following a ten-year absence.
Ilicali and Mourinho will square off once more on Saturday at the Champions League final. The owner of City is anticipated to go to Wembley for the crucial match, and Mourinho will be a guest on TNT Sport’s coverage of the highlight. After the match, the City manager is anticipated to travel to Hull, where Tim Walter’s arrival is likely to bring an end to his quest for a new manager at the MKM Stadium.
