Jose Mourinho is reportedly set to hand in his resignation at Fenerbahce.

Jose Mourinho is set to leave Fenerbahce ahead of his contract expiration, following reports claiming he will resign from the role. 

The 62-year-old joined the Yellow Canaries in the summer, signing a two-year contract. He was expected to stay the length of the deal, despite interest from elsewhere, following his revelation that he planned on returning to the Premier League upon expiration of his deal.

Mourinho to resign 

However, the Portuguese’ exit from the Yellow Canaries could be impending, as Turkish football journalist Yakub Cinar reported that the former Chelsea boss will leave Fenerbahce due to health reasons.

The report came moments after their draw in the Super Lig against Kayserispor, which left them five points behind Galatasaray in the title race. 

The story is still developing; hence, it is unclear whether the former Barcelona translator will leave effective immediately or at the end of the season.

Mourinho's health 

Last December, fans of the Portuguese coach feared for his health after it was revealed that Mourinho flew back home from Turkey to undergo surgery.

However, he quickly quelled the unrest, announcing that he only had a minor procedure and he was fine. Fenerbahce offered more details, revealing in a club statement that their coach had a gallbladder operation. 

It remains to be seen whether the recently reported health issue warranting resignation is related to the treatment he had months ago or if he has a different health problem.
