This summer, Turkish club Fenerbahçe announced a managerial change, appointing the legendary José Mourinho as their new head coach. Since taking charge on June 2nd, the Portuguese tactician has already overseen three official matches in the Champions League qualifiers.
However, yesterday marked Mourinho's debut in the Turkish Süper Lig. His team secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Adana Demirspor, thanks to a single goal from Edin Džeko.
Despite the change of scenery, Mourinho's behavior on the touchline remained as fiery as ever. Just 20 minutes into the match, the Portuguese coach was shown a yellow card for his excessive emotional outbursts.
For context, his predecessor, İsmail Kartal, went the entire previous season without receiving a single caution from the referees.
The match also stood out for another reason. Adana Demirspor's goal was guarded by 15-year-old goalkeeper Deniz Donmezer, who made four crucial saves throughout the game. His impressive performance at such a young age was a highlight of the match.
