Tedesco reveals all</figcaption></figure><p>Despite his young age, Dominico Tedesco has already experienced quite a lot in football. Runner-up with Schalke, cup winner with Leipzig, a European Championship with Belgium, and now, since September, Turkey as the coach of Fenerbahçe. An incredibly big and emotional task, but exactly what the 40-year-old wanted. </p><p>As Tedesco revealed in an interview with 'Sport Bild', Fenerbahçe, with its size and energetic fans, had a very special appeal for him: "After my time as Belgium’s national coach, I absolutely wanted to work for a club again that has a massive fan base. One that radiates something. One that is simply emotional. Fenerbahçe means everything to the fans. You can really feel that."</p><p>Tedesco had already experienced something similar before at Schalke and also at the capital club Spartak Moscow. But Fenerbahçe and its fans are now "[...] even a bit more emotional. I really love that, I soak it all up."</p><p>After his start in Istanbul as Jose Mourinho’s successor was a bit bumpy at first, things are now going very well for Tedesco and Fenerbahçe. The last six games in the Süper Lig have all been won, and as head coach, he has only lost a single game across all competitions (Europa League against Zagreb). </p><p>Perhaps the upswing is also related to his new living situation, because for the first five weeks he actually lived on the club’s grounds: "There I had everything I needed. My office, a small room with a bed, wardrobe, TV, as well as a couch and a small bathroom." But as nice as it may have been there, it’s always best in a real home.</p><p><em>This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. <a href="https://onefootball.com/de/news/fener-fans-noch-emotionaler-als-auf-schalke-tedesco-packt-aus-41996502">You can read the original version in 🇩🇪 here.</a></em></p><hr><p>📸 GOKHAN TANER</p>)

Head coach Steve Barker didn’t hold back his praise for the defender, highlighting his resilience and unwavering professionalism.</p><p>The significant match was a CAF Confederation Cup Group C encounter against AS Otohô, which Stellenbosch narrowly won 1–0. With no available stadium in the Western Cape, the clash was hosted at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane—a venue that once echoed with cheers during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.</p><p>Reflecting on Moloisane’s journey, Barker shared,<!--filtered--><strong>“I’m very proud of Thabo; he had a tough season with Maritzburg when they got relegated. We picked him up, and since then, Thabo has played 100 games. He is the only player to reach 100 who started in every game. Other players reached 100 but came on as substitutes. So for him to start 100 games for the club is really good and a proud moment for him. He’s done really well for us.”</strong></p><p>Since joining at the start of the 2023/24 season, Moloisane hasn’t just been a consistent starter—his influence has grown both at the club and beyond. His performances have even caught the eye of the national team selectors, earning him a place in the Bafana Bafana setup.</p><p>Barker went on to commend his player’s character and ambition, adding,<!--filtered--><strong>“Thabo has also done very well to get himself in and around the Bafana team. He’s a solid professional, hardworking and very committed. He’s also a winner, and I am really proud of what he’s achieved in this time with us.”</strong></p><p>With this milestone behind them, Moloisane and his teammates now turn their attention to their next challenge: the second group stage match, set for this Saturday.</p>)
