The Portuguese tactician has returned to the dugout following Roma's decision to part ways with him in January this year.
Mourinho has penned a two-year deal with Fenerbahce as he tries his hand in the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in his career, with his contract believed to include an option for a further 12 months.
The move will also see the 61-year-old back in the UEFA Champions League, a competition he has won twice, for the first time since he was in charge of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
According to Fanatik, Mourinho is expected to earn €10 million (R203 million) a year in Turkey, while the coaches he has brought along with him will each be paid €2 million (R40 million) annually.
Speaking at his unveiling on Sunday, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid manager roused supporters who turned up in numbers to get a glimpse of their new boss.
"First of all, I want to thank you for your love," he said.
"Your love that I feel from the first moment that my name was connected with Fenerbahce. Normally, a coach is loved after victories but in this case I feel I am loved before victories.
"And that for me is a big responsibility that I feel and I promise you that from this moment I belong to your family. This shirt is my skin. Football is passion and there is no better place to feel that passion.
"Since the moment I met with the president, I wanted to play for you because in the end you are the soul of the football club. Since I met him, I understood his project and I want to be the coach of all of you.
