Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku meets legendary manager Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce
Black Stars defender Alexander Djiku has finally met legendary Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho after returning to Turkey to begin pre-season training with Fenerbahce.
The Ghana international cut short his vacation in Mauritius to join his club as preparations commence ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Djiku, 29, will now work under Mourinho, who has been appointed as the head coach of the Yellow and Wavy Blues this summer.
Mourinho’s arrival signals the club’s intent to reclaim glory, with a particular focus on winning the Super Lig, which they narrowly lost last season by just three points.
Djiku joined the Turkish giants last summer and played a crucial role in the team’s performances throughout the season.
His defensive prowess will be vital as Fenerbahce aim to strengthen their squad under Mourinho’s guidance.
As part of their pre-season preparations, Fenerbahce have scheduled friendlies against Petrolul Ploiesti, Admira, and Hadjuk Split.
These matches will help the team build momentum ahead of their first competitive game next month.
Fenerbahce is set to face Swiss giants Lugano in the UEFA Champions League qualifier on July 30, marking the beginning of what promises to be a challenging but exciting season under the leadership of Mourinho.
