Tedesco to Fenerbahçe: Mourinho’s Replacement Confirmed

Tedesco has signed a two -year contract, according to ‘Fener’. He receives assistance from 40-year-old Gökhan Gönül, strong holder for years.

The 39-year-old Tedesco took over the helm at the Red Devils in early 2023, after the Spaniard Roberto Martinez at the end of 2022 after the disappointing World Cup in Qatar, where the Belgians did not get his farewell, had announced his farewell. The beginning under Tedesco was promising and Belgium easily qualified for Euro 2024, but gradually the game level diluted and the results were disappointing. At the European Championship in Germany, after a disappointing tournament, the eighth final was the final stop and then a disappointing campaign followed in the Nations League. Moreover, his fight with Real Madrid keeper Thibaut Courtois, who no longer wanted to play under Tedesco since June 2023, hanged like a sword of Damocles above his head.

In mid -January, the Belgian Football Association (KBVB) then put an end to the collaboration. Since then, Tedesco has been without work. In the past he was already T1 at Schalke 04 and RB Leipzig in Germany and the Russian Spartak Moscow.

Mourinho has been a trainer at Fenerbahçe since mid -2024. At the end of August the 62-year-old Portuguese had to pack his bags.
