Hupu reported on November 11 that the Turkish media "Yenicag Gazetesi" reported that the famous Portuguese coach Mourinho was suspected of leaving an unpaid hotel bill of up to 656,000 pounds after leaving Fenerbahce.

According to reports, Mourinho lived in the Four Seasons Hotel next to the Bosporus in Istanbul for 15 of the 16 months he coached Fenerbahce. With room rates running into thousands of pounds a night, the luxury hotel has been described as a "King's Accommodation" with marble bathrooms, terraces and sea-view suites.

It is reported that the hotel bill has been borne by Fenerbahce, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction among Turkish fans. Many people criticized the club for allowing Mourinho to "live like a royal family", but it did not achieve the desired results.

Mourinho was fired in August this year after the team was eliminated by Benfica in the Champions League play-offs. Ironically, he subsequently became Benfica coach. Although get out of class was dismissed early, Mourinho still received 13 million pounds in termination compensation.

This is not his first "hotel stay". As early as when he was coaching Manchester United, Mourinho lived in the Lowry Hotel in Manchester for the entire term, and the accumulated bill exceeded 500,000 pounds.

As of now, neither Mourinho nor Fenerbahce Club have issued a public response on this matter.
