Ismet Tasdemir, the head coach of Bodrum FK, one of the new teams in the Trendyol Super League, challenged Fenerbahce's new coach Jose Mourinho. Evaluating the arrival of the world-renowned coach to the yellow-navy team, Tasdemir stated, "We also have Mourinho, we will not back down just because he is there."
Fenerbahçe has appointed world-renowned coach Jose Mourinho as the head coach. İsmet Taşdemir, the head coach of Bodrum FK, who promoted to the Süper Lig for the first time in its history by defeating Sakaryaspor 3-1 in the Trendyol 1. Lig play-off final, challenged Mourinho, who is considered one of the best coaches in the world.
"WE WON'T BOW DOWN JUST BECAUSE MOURINHO IS HERE"
Ismet Taşdemir, stating that the Süper Lig will become a bigger brand day by day, said, "Mourinho is also very successful, a career-oriented coach. He will be a role model for many young coaches in our league and maybe we will face him. However, I know that no one in the world has a significant superiority over anyone else. If you are truly passionate about your job, working hard, and have the right group of players, you will definitely get results. We won't bow down just because we have Mourinho or anyone else. We will try to enter the competition by adding our knowledge and experiences. It's still early, let's establish our Süper Lig structure first, then I can say more definitive things. But facing a coach who has left a mark on world football until recently is exciting," he said.
