Jose Mourinho ‘requests special clause in Fenerbahce contract’ that lets ex-Man Utd boss take dream job

JOSE MOURINHO is prepared to officially accept a managerial job offer from Fenerbahce - on one condition.

The 61-year-old has been out of work since leaving Roma in January.

It's claimed Jose Mourinho has asked for a clause to be inserted into his Fenerbahce contract

However, he is now finally set for a return to the dugout.

A two-year deal is understood to be in place, with the option to extend.

However, Calcio Mercato claim the 'Special One' wants a special clause inserted into his contract.

Mourinho wants permission to leave Fenerbahce should the opportunity to manage the Portuguese national team arise.

The former Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham boss previously turned down the job twice.

He told Fabrizio Romano: "I had the door open to be Portugal coach twice.

"First time when I was at Real Madrid but Florentino told me, 'no chance'.
