JOSE MOURINHO received a “crazy” reception as Fenerbahce unveiled him as manager to lit flares and thousands of screaming fans at a packed stadium

The ex-Manchester United and Chelsea chief was greeted with deafening chants amid incredible scenes in Turkey.

The club and Mourinho confirmed his appointment hours earlier on Sunday in a message that whipped up supporters for the frenzy to come.

The former Real Madrid manager, 61, said in a video message: “Merhaba [Hello] Fenerbahce fans. See you at Kadikoy and let’s start our journey together.”

Mourinho jetted in to Turkey after starring as a pundit for TNT Sports during Real’s 2-0 Champions League final win over Borussia Dortmund at Wembley.

The Portuguese has been out of the dugout since Roma sacked him in January.  

The ex-Tottenham boss is understood to have agreed a contract until 2026, with an option for a further season.

One viewer said of the welcome for Mourinho: “Only a legend can have this effect on a Sunday afternoon in Türkiye. Jose Mourinho is a movement and a way of life.”

Another posted: “The stadium is crazy!”

And a third wrote: “Next season is going to be fun.”

Mourinho, dressed casually in a blue shirt, strolled across the pitch surrounded by security staff as onlookers stretched to take photos and get a close glimpse of the former Porto and Benfica manager.

After seeing the raucous reaction from fellow fans, one supporter posted gleefully: “This is just a beginning.”
