In the qualifying rounds draw to determine the final participants for the Champions League, Fenerbahce landed in a tough group. After needing to eliminate Lugano, they would face Jonathan David's Lille, who finished fourth in Ligue 1.

Mourinho will need to work his "Special One" magic starting this week with a strong squad featuring names like Soyuncu and Saint-Maximin. First, they have to get past the Swiss club Lugano, and then face off in a titan clash with Lille.

If they manage to beat both, they’ll make it into the 36 teams chosen to start the Champions League, a competition they haven’t been in since the 2008-2009 season. Can Mourinho bring European glory back to Fenerbahce?
