Jose Mourinho (1961-), Portuguese soccer player
Getting closer to returning to coaching, several teams in Turkey have shown strong interest in him.
Fenerbahce and Besiktas are both looking to bring Mourinho on board and have offered him their team development plans in a bid to convince him to join.
Yildirim, who will run for the presidency of Fenerbahçe, revealed, "We had a two-hour conversation with the manager, Besiktas offered him 7 million euros a year, we decided to offer him 12 million euros and Besiktas didn't convince him."
Besiktas vice-chairman Unsel, meanwhile, hit back, saying, "I think the conversations between us and the manager are going well, we've talked four or five times."
Mourinho is currently carefully evaluating offers from all parties, with Fenerbahce and Besiktas both offering attractive conditions. Fenerbahce's financially generous terms may be more attractive to Mourinho, but Besiktas' repeated approaches suggest they are equally sincere.
