Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho holds the world record for severance packages. And now, after the latest controversies and miserable behavior, there is talk again that he must be fired.
Now we understand how Jose Mourinho can do anything without being sacked! – Fenerbahce will never do anything drastic.
José Mourinho was sacked for the sixth time in his career when Roma sacked him just over a year ago. The decision came after the team had won just one of their last six games in Serie A, ending in a disappointing 3-1 defeat to AC Milan.

An investigation by Megadice now reveals how much wealth the Portuguese coach has amassed just by being sacked. According to the calculations, Mourinho received a severance package of £ 3.7 million from Roma, bringing the total amount he has received in severance payments to a whopping £82 million.
The story of Mourinho’s expensive dismissals
However, this was the smallest payment Mourinho has received:
- Chelsea (2007): £18 million
- Chelsea (2015): £12.5 million
- Manchester United (2018): £15 million – less than a year after new lucrative contract
- Tottenham (2021): £16 million – only 18 months after hiring
- Real Madrid (2013): £17 million
- Mourinho is the coach in football history who has benefited the most from being sacked. His total payments far surpass his closest rival, Antonio Conte, who has earned approximately £32.6 million from Inter, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Conte still holds the record for the largest single payment ever – a whopping £26.6 million from Chelsea in 2018 after winning a court case against the club. (Conte, who is now at Napoli, is said to have negotiated a severance package of 20 million euros)

Mourinho’s career shows that he is not only a winner on the pitch, but also a master at securing millions when things go wrong. Now Turkey is waiting to see if Fenerbahçe will be the next club to pay to get rid of “The Special One”.
José Mourinho’s adventure as coach of Fenerbahçe has not had the impact many expected. The charismatic coach, known for his strong disposition, has once again found himself at the centre of controversy after a heated confrontation with the Galatasaray coach – an episode that has caused great debate in Turkey. These situations are starting to take their toll, and serious questions are now being raised about his future at the Turkish club.

Fanatik writes that Jose Mourinho has secured an insane severance package
In addition to the conflicts off the pitch, the team’s performance on the pitch does not measure up to the large investment base. Fenerbahçe are not performing at the level that was expected after Mourinho’s arrival, which increases the pressure on his position.
But firing Mourinho is not an easy decision. His contract includes a clause that would require the club to pay nearly €40 million in the event of a layoff – a sum that is currently slowing down any drastic decision. The club’s president and board are now in a difficult situation: should they continue to support a coach with a history full of successes, but who is also surrounded by constant controversy? Or should they pay the high price for ending the collaboration?
Fenerbache hosted Trabzonspor at the Ülker Stadyumu Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu Spor Kompleks earlier today, Sunday and won 4 – 1.
