Fenerbahce has sacked manager Domenico Tedesco, the Turkish club said on Monday, after a 3-0 defeat to rivals Galatasaray at the weekend that all but ended their Super Lig title hopes.
Tedesco was appointed on a two-year deal in September, replacing Jose Mourinho who left in August after Fenerbahce exited the Champions League at the play-off stages to Benfica. Mourinho became manager of Benfica weeks later.
Fenerbahce have lost just two league games this season, but Sunday’s derby defeat leaves them seven points behind Galatasaray with three games to play.
Tedesco’s team won the Turkish Super Cup in January by beating Galatasaray, but left the Europa League in the knockout phase of the play-offs against Nottingham Forest.
Fenerbahce, which has not won the league title since 2014, has also parted ways with sporting director Devin Ozek and football coordinator Berke Celebi. Assistant coach Zeki Murat Gole will take charge for the rest of the season
