Fenerbahce’s New President May Signal End of Tedesco‘s โTenure
Istanbul, Turkey – domenico Tedesco’s futureโ at Fenerbahce is increasingly uncertain following a recent defeat and a change in club leadership, according to a report in the Turkish newspaper Sabah. With Sadettin Saran now president, replacing Ali Koรง-who initially broughtโข Tedesco to the โclub-the German coach’s position appears precarious.
The shift โขin power at Fenerbahce comesโ at a critical juncture for Tedesco, whose team suffered a recent loss to Zagreb. While Tedesco publicly remained optimistic after the match, โemphasizing areas of advancement, the new president’s arrival โcasts a shadow over his long-term prospects.

Following the setback โขagainstโ Zagreb, Tedesco acknowledged the team’s recent struggles but pointed to positive developments. “we โคmust seeโค where we come from. The โคlast games were really not good. Even if we lost today and that hurts: as a coach,โ weโข must notโ always look at the result,” he stated. โค
Tedesco further highlighted tactical improvements, noting, “There was progress in many areas. We had more control of the game than in recent matches. We conceded fewer counterattacks after losing โthe ball, we lost fewer balls. โขOurโฃ pressing and intensity wereโข reallyโค good.”
Tedesco is known in Germanyโค for his previous roles at Schalke โค(2017-2019) and RB Leipzig (2021-2022). He notably led Schalke to a surprising second-place finish in the Bundesliga inโข 2018. However, doubtsโข about his future at Fenerbahce are reportedly growingโข despite โhisโค assessment of progress.
