Mourinho began today's media conference: "I am thanking every Fenerbahce supporter that came here yesterday, even the ones from home that were celebrating the fact I joined the club. I want to thank them all.

"I used to joke and say many times I am Jose Mourinho, I want to say now, I am Fenerbahce coach."

He also stated: "The first person that contacted me was Mario Branco which we know he's Fenerbahce's sporting director, that was my first contact with club. That was the trigger for my attention, trigger for my interest in becoming coach later.

"Lots of rumours always when I'm in any club. I understand Fenerbahce is not different, the truth is that I have never spoke about one single player for a possible transfer market. Everything is about project, everything about the stability I want to find now we move a bit in direct of profiles that we need, to improve the team. Not at all ever have I spoken about a name with anyone.

"Names of my previous players, previous club, I want to make it 100 percent my word. I have zero interest in every player or any player from Roma. Not time to rush. Not time to feel emotions. It is time to come and to make the things right which is what we try to do."

 Mourinho has also laid out his ambitions for next season.

"(It is) hard because we have three rounds of qualifying and in Fenerbahce’s case, eight players are at the Euros and they are not coming for pre-season before the first round.

“If I go, you know that I like challenges so we are going to fight to be in the Champions League.”
