WHAT HAPPENED?

Fenerbahce has been running a noble programme for the past two years where they issue educational scholarships to students in need in Turkey. The former Manchester United and Chelsea manager claimed that one of the things that convinced him to join the club was when he heard about their cause.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 61-year-old's message to the fans read, "Dear Public and Fenerbahce Fans, I greet you all with affection. Months ago, when we were meeting for the very first time with Fenerbahce, I was given the most detailed depiction of the club’s history, its position as the largest sports club in the world, its story, goals, facilities, large community and unique grandstands. And this story got me very excited. One of the things that drew my attention the most in this unique story was the step taken by this great club and community for children in the last two seasons, under the leadership of its football team."When I was told, for the last two seasons, Fenerbahce has been granting education scholarships to students in need in the country; the coach and the team embrace the project and the community is, as always, the most important part of this. I realized how meaningful this step was. I will repeat what I said for Fenerbahce and its fans during my signing ceremony and I will take the first step as a part of this meaningful project: Your dreams are now my dreams. I too embrace the dreams of Fenerbahce to support the children of this country, with the sense of responsibility and belonging the Club has for its nation. I would like to share with the fans that I will be launching for this season the education scholarship campaign which was carried out for the last two seasons by Fenerbahce. I believe that first our footballers, then our great fans will once again become a proud part of this meaningful step. And that our dreams will be as one for the children of this country! I love you all very much. Jose Mourinho."
