Former Manchester United coaches have "same fate": Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Mourinho bid farewell to the Turkish Super League within 11 hours!

While most European football players are paying attention to the follow-up to the Champions League draw, two top clubs in Turkey took action against two poorly performed former Manchester United managers.

Ole Guinard Solskjaer became a victim first and was fired by Besiktas. The so-called "smiling assassin" took over as head coach of Besiktas in January last year, bringing the team that ranked sixth when he took over to fourth. The team has had some notable wins, such as a victory over champions Galatasaray and Fenerbahce coached by Mourinho, but it turns out that the European qualifier is Solskjaer's Waterloo this season.

Besiktas lost to Donetsk Miners 2-6 in the first round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers and was forced to fall into the UEFA qualifiers qualifiers.

After struggling to pass two tight matches with Irish side St. Patrick Athletic – Solskjaer’s side once fell 0-2 behind St. Patrick, currently fifth in the Irish league at home – Besiktas was eliminated from the UEFA qualifier by Swiss team Lausanne Sports, and the owner of Lausanne Sports is Sir Ratcliffe’s Inez group, which is another surprise related to Manchester United.

Mourinho's position in Fenerbahce also depends on the outcome of the European qualifying match, or on the failure to qualify. The two-time Champions League coach ultimately failed to beat Benfica in the Champions League play-offs. Falling into the UEFA Cup itself may not be a reason for being fired, but Mourinho publicly criticized his employer before losing the second leg.

After Fenerbahce's first qualifying victory over Feyenoord, Mourinho complained about the lack of new signings, slammed: "I don't think the club has made any additional efforts to provide me with more opportunities in these two games with Benfica. If the Champions League is crucial to my club, then there will be some action during the time between Feyenoord and Benfica's game."

Mourinho also said thoughtfully: "I know that entering the Champions League is very important, very important to the fans, but from a career perspective, it's just a game. I don't think career will be affected." This prediction is not very good.

Now, Fenerbahce has taken the initiative to fire Mourinho and will pay him a 15 million euro severance payment.
