Fenerbahce’s Head Coach Changed After Red Card in Manchester United Match

Fenerbahce hosted English giant Manchester United in the third week of the UEFA Europa League. Despite falling behind 1-0, the yellow-navy blues secured a 1-1 draw. Following Jose Mourinho’s ejection after receiving a red card, Dusan Tadic took charge on the sidelines.

Manchester United struck first in the 15th minute with a goal from Christian Eriksen. Fenerbahce’s equalizer came in the 49th minute through Youssef En-Nesyri. Dominating much of the game but settling for a point, Fenerbahce now stands at 5 points, while Manchester United has 3 points with three draws in three matches.

JOSE MOURINHO SEES RED

In the 57th minute, after a challenge in the Manchester United penalty area, Bright Osayi-Samuel was brought down by Manuel Ugarte. Fenerbahce players appealed for a penalty, leading referee Clement Turpin to show Mourinho a red card in the 59th minute following protests.

DUSAN TADIC TAKES THE REINS

With Mourinho sent to the stands, Dusan Tadic took control from the bench. Subbed off in the 79th minute, the Serbian star remained active, giving constant directions to his teammates and showing high energy as the match neared its end. In the 90th minute, during a Manchester United free-kick, Tadic passionately organized Fenerbahce’s defense, later congratulating his teammates for clearing the ball.

Recently, Tadic shared with Tivibu Spor that he aspires to transition to coaching once his playing career ends. He noted, “Physically, I feel good and can play a few more years, but I aim to coach after my playing days.”
