On the eve of his clash against Manchester United in the Europa League, José Mourinho is under pressure at Fenerbahçe. The Portuguese coach, who joined the Turkish club in the summer, is facing criticism from legendary former goalkeeper Volkan Demirel. He expressed his disappointment, affirming that the team is plunged into a climate of“dissatisfaction and despair”.
Mourinho in search of redemption against Manchester United
Despite high expectations around Mourinho and the transfers made, Fenerbahçe are struggling to find their form, remaining winless in October and falling eight points behind Galatasaray in the Super Lig. The match against the Red Devils could be decisive for Mourinho, who hopes to turn things around by beating his former club.
However, critics highlight the lack of tactical progress and the style of play considered too defensive, especially after a frustrating draw against Samsunspor (2-2), where Fenerbahçe conceded a goal in the final minutes.
