Mourinho’s Tactical Plans for Fenerbahçe: Kostic’s Arrival Could Bring a Defensive Shift

World-renowned coach Jose Mourinho, known for his tactical flexibility, has frequently deployed a 3-3 defensive formation at Manchester United, Tottenham, and Roma. However, he has yet to implement this setup at Fenerbahçe. With the recent signing of Filip Kostic, Mourinho may now be ready to introduce a different approach.

Kostic’s arrival at Fenerbahçe came as a surprise to many, given his versatility. The Serbian star has played as a left wing-back in 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 formations during his time at Juventus, while he also operated as a left-back at Eintracht Frankfurt. Following the announcement of the transfer, fans were left wondering: “Where will Kostic play?”

Mourinho offered some insight into his plans: “With our creative left-back (Ferdi) leaving, we were missing a key player in that position. Kostic can play in a back three, as a wing-back, or in left midfield. His versatility gives us many options. I’m also considering using Oosterwolde as a center-back with Kostic on the wing.”

This hints at a potential tactical shift for Fenerbahçe, as Mourinho looks to integrate Kostic into a new system.
