While there has been a visible rise in Fenerbahçe in recent weeks, the most important architect of this change was undoubtedly Domenico Tedesco. The 40-year-old coach, who attached great importance to communication as soon as he took office, established an environment of trust by establishing direct contact with everyone, from football players to club personnel.
Tedesco, who started the tactical transition process after creating this communication climate, started to make his team memorize the 4-3-3 formation from the third match. The yellow-dark blue team is undefeated in five matches with this system; They achieved stability by defeating Nice, Stuttgart, Antalyaspor and Karagümrük and drawing with Samsunspor. Tedesco’s team also stands out with its tactical flexibility, being able to switch to 4-2-3-1 when necessary.
SET AN EXAMPLE IN FACILITIES
The Italian coach, known for his disciplined work, stayed at Samandıra facilities with his team for a long time, integrating with his team and giving the message that “you can win by working”. This attitude increased confidence in the eyes of the players and created unity within the club.
7. LANGUAGE: TURKISH
According to the news in Milliyet, Tedesco, who is fluent in German, Italian, French, English, Spanish and Russian, has now started to learn Turkish. It is stated that the young coach, who is very talented in learning languages, wants to communicate with the local players in their own language.
Tedesco, who occasionally uses Turkish words in press conferences, is expected to be able to speak Turkish at a basic level in a short time.
IT SEES IT AS A “SIGN OF RESPECT”
Tedesco considers his decision to learn Turkish not only as a professional advantage, but also as a sign of respect for his country. The technical man, who likes to deeply understand the cultures he meets, tries to get to know Turkish culture more closely by reading books, watching documentaries and chatting with his surroundings.
