Turkish giants Fenerbahçe sacked coach Domenico Tedesco on Monday, 24 hours after a damaging İstanbul derby defeat by title rivals Galatasaray.
Former Belgium boss Tedesco took over from Jose Mourinho in September but has failed to see out the season.
A 3-0 loss at Galatasaray on Sunday all but ended Fenerbahce’s hopes of winning a first Super Lig title since 2014, leaving them seven points behind their city rivals with three matches remaining this term.
The match saw Fenerbahçe midfielder Talisca miss a first-half penalty with the game goalless, while goalkeeper Ederson was sent off in the second period.
Fenerbahce said in a statement that sporting director Devin Özek and football coordinator Berke Çelebi had also been fired, with assistant coach Zeki Murat Göle to replace Tedesco until the end of the season.
