Jose Mourinho |
With Jose Mourinho's recent appointment as Fenerbahce's new head coach, he will be coaching Super Eagles' defender, Bright Osayi-Samuel.
Last season, Osayi-Samuel made news when he struck a fan who had invaded the pitch during a Turkish Super Lig match against Trabzonspor.
Although Fenerbahce emerged victorious with a 3-2 scoreline, the post-match festivities were overshadowed by the chaotic incidents.
The Nigerian international, who has been with Fenerbahce since 2021, swiftly dealt with the trespasser by throwing a punch.
Osayi-Samuel's intense approach to the game is likely to resonate with Mourinho, known for valuing dedicated players.
Despite Fenerbahce's strong performance last season, with only one loss, their six ties ultimately hindered their championship aspirations, allowing Galatasaray to secure the title.
