The last one was another season with lots of disappointments for Fenerbahce as they finished on the 7th spot, 16 points away from the top of the league. They offered satisfactory performances at home, but they were one of the worst away performers. In particular, they were so poor between February and March: a 7-game winless run kept them away from the title race. The board eventually made a coach change, but it was too late. They struggled at the back and recorded only 5 clean sheets. Ahead of the new season, the arrival of coach Erol Bulut, who is a former club player, brought a great excitement to the fans who have not seen any league title since 2013/14. However, they are also worried about possible authority problems as Emre Belozoglu retired and started to work as sportive director. It is known that he has a big impact over the team. So far, the duo have done a good job and brought many important players in. Since there are serious offers for Muriqi, they have already replaced him with Thiam. Trabzon duo Novak and Sosa will be making it straight to the starting eleven. Sinan Gumus is also expected to give a great support as right winger. The arrivals of Gokhan and Caner from Besiktas made the biggest impact: during the derbies, they were booed and everybody wonders how the team will react. Fenerbahce are still not reliable in the heart of the defence as they need to sign a good centre-back soon. The club president has taken big financial risks in order to win the title this time around. At this point, it is a big advantage not to compete in Europe.

Target

As one of the big four, they always aim at winning the title. Besides, they will also go for a cup victory.

Season Review

2019/2020

№7: Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce had another disappointing season and finish it out of top 5 places once again. The biggest reason for this was the lack of strength in squad. Things got even worse when they started to be hit by injuries. For some part of the sesaon, Vedat Muriqi, who is 1.94 m, could do well with his stubborn style and winning ability of physical confrontations when the ball is in air, but then he could no longer be effective once he was not supported well anymore. As usual, they were strong at home and the existing amount of points were collected in front of their fans, but they did not do anything special on the road and collected only one more point than two of the bottom 3 teams. After facing a 6-game winless league run, the board parted company with coach Ersun Yanal and caretaker coach Tahir Karapinar was appointed, but everybody knows that Volkan Demirel and captain Emre Belozoglu, who have a big impact in the club, were in charge. Maybe, it was the biggest reason for coach Ersun Yanal’s failure. He was unable to place his authority over the team. Of course, the poor performances of Jailson, Tolgay, Sadik, Mehmet Ekici and Altay prepared the end of the coach. In terms of next season, there are lots of things to do for the new coach who will probably be Erol Bulut who did a great job in Alanya. First of all, he should establish his authority inside the team. Since captain Emre is expected to work as sportive director, the coach should not let anybody interfere with his job. Then, of course, to build a new team is a must. Following Alanya’s offensive line up, a very tough season awaits coach Erol Bulut.
