Just the beginning of this season, Mourinho was fired by Fenerbahce. Mourinho also received a liquidated damages of 7.7 million pounds and received a liquidated damages of 89 million pounds in his career. Last season, Mourinho publicly criticized the entire Turkish football circle, including referees, media and fans, because he was dissatisfied with the Turkish football atmosphere.

In an interview with the media, Cork explained why Mourinho was fired early at the beginning of the season. "Our team didn't play offensive football last season, we discussed these issues and reached a consensus. At the beginning of the season, we performed exactly the same in the first five official games as last season. Benfica could eliminate us at any time, but our game state worried me, which is why we took the risk to make this decision."

{if there is no change, we don't see much hope for the championship, so the club has to make a decision. No one has any objection to Mourinho's work ethics, he is a workaholic. I have no resentment towards him. Why should we give up Mourinho? After all, bringing him here is a great thing," explained Cork.

"The most important thing is that it is difficult to separate from someone who was once a friend. When Mourinho was introduced, we knew he was a defensive coach. However, at the end of the season, we discussed the need to adopt a more dominant offensive football style. Scoring 99 goals and scoring 99 points is our Fenerbahce gene." Cork said that the reason why Mourinho was fired was because he wanted to regain Fenerbahce's offensive genes.
