José Morais took charge of struggling Bodrumspor, who were in the relegation zone, in early February, since when the well-travelled Portuguese has overseen an incredible turnaround. Most remarkably, Bodrumspor have yet to concede a goal across his seven matches in charge.
It has been a tough few days for Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho, who watched his side eliminated from the Europa League by Rangers via a penalty shootout on Thursday, before a costly draw in Türkiye delivered a huge blow to the club’s title ambitions.
