Fenerbahçe’s new coach was Domenico Tedesco in September 2025, after José Mourinho was sacked earlier that year. Reuters reported the dismissal, and later reports confirmed Tedesco’s appointment on a two-year deal.

For your August 2026 context, the key point is that Tedesco was the coach appointed after Mourinho’s exit, not a new August 2026 hire. If you meant who was expected to be coaching Fenerbahçe around August 2026, available reports still point to Tedesco as the head coach from that appointment.

What happened

  • José Mourinho left Fenerbahçe in late August 2025 after the club failed to qualify for the Champions League group stage.
  • Domenico Tedesco was then named the new head coach in September 2025.
  • Reuters later reported Fenerbahçe sacked Tedesco in April 2026 after a derby defeat.

In plain terms

So the most accurate answer is: Domenico Tedesco was the new coach linked to Fenerbahçe after Mourinho, but by April 2026 he had already been sacked.
