Wednesday, October 23, 2024 - Jose Mourinho has been accused of creating a negative atmosphere in the Fenerbahce dressing room ahead of his side's Europe League showdown with former club Manchester United.
Mourinho joined the Turkish
club during the summer after being sacked by Roma after a run of poor
results.
He has endured a slow start to life in
Turkey with Fenerbahce fourth in the Super Lig, eight points below leaders
Galatasaray.

in October after Sunday's 2-2 draw with Samsunspor
A Fenerbahce legend has now come out to
publicly criticise Mourinho for his impact on the mood at the club.
Speaking to Fanatik, former Fenerbahce
goalkeeper Volkan Demirel said: 'right now, this Fenerbahce team is mixed with
unhappiness and hopelessness.
'Why the unhappiness? Because of the
environment they are in. Why the hopelessness? We were all expecting
something. We were expecting it from Mourinho, we were expecting it from
the transfers that were made.
'We were saying let’s see after the
international break, but nothing has changed at the moment, but it will
obviously continue like this.
'We waited to see if we could see a change,
a variability, but it didn’t happen. We have not seen any changes in the game
designs of the matches played at home and away. Or if you are leading 2-1, will
Fenerbahce play a seven-man defence? A big question mark.'
Mourinho is preparing for a reunion with
Man United when his side host the Red Devils on Thursday night.
