Domenico Tedesco, who took charge after Fenerbahçe parted ways with Jose Mourinho in the second week of the season, has been performing successfully in the league with a squad he did not create himself. In his first 8 league matches, the Italian coach has achieved the highest starting score (18) of his career. The Yellow-lacivertos lead the Super Lig in goals (1.9), possession (61%), passes (438) and shots (7.8) per game.
Tedesco defeated Trabzonspor 1-0 in his first match after taking charge. After draws against Alanyaspor and Kasımpaşa, he earned 3 points against Antalyaspor. After a draw against Samsunspor, the 40-year-old coach continued the streak with wins over Karagümrük and Gaziantep FC, and finally reinforced his form with a 3-2 comeback against Beşiktaş. The Yellow-lacivertliler will host Viktoria Plzen in the UEFA Europa League 4th week on Thursday.
