Mourinho’s successor reveals “conflict” with Benfica boss | OneFootball

José Mourinho's successor at Fenerbahçe does not hide his admiration for the Portuguese coach, but emphasizes that there are differences. Domenico Tedesco took over as head coach after the dismissal of the current coach of Benfica and revealed that he has enormous respect for the Special One, however, he is not a fan of his working methodology.

In an interview given to the German newspaper Bild, the Fenerbahçe coach did not remain indifferent to his predecessor and left a few words for the leader of Clube da Luz. “I have great respect for Mourinho. But... my style is different,” began Domenico Tedesco.

The current coach of Kerem Akturkoglu – who is in great form – went on to explain what sets him apart from José Mourinho: “I am calmer and more introspective in communication. I prefer to work with trust, not with conflict.”

Regarding his arrival at Fenerbahçe, to fill the position left by the Portuguese coach, the Turkish club’s manager explained how his adaptation went in the early days: “I spent the first five weeks at the training center. It was essential. I had a small room, with a bed, a wardrobe, a TV, and a tiny bathroom.”

Finally, Domenico Tedesco revealed what his work strategy was when he took over as head coach of Fenerbahçe, talking about some of the ideas he had: “Training started at 7 in the morning every day and we filled the whole day with games, training sessions, and analysis. Since Istanbul’s traffic made it almost impossible to go back home, it made more sense to sleep at the training center.”
