The lost derby against Ernest Muçi and Milot Rashica's Besiktas left its mark on Fenerbahçe, who slipped to minus 6 points from the leading Gallatasaraji.
Dissatisfaction within the club is so pronounced that the dismissal of coach Jose Mourinho has begun to be discussed in Turkey. Fenerbahçe can make the extreme decision from this Thursday, if the team does not win the match against Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League.
Mourinho's adventure on the bench of the Istanbul giants could end prematurely, after the break in the championship and premature elimination from the Turkish Cup.
If Fenerbahçe fails to qualify for the eighth round of the Europa League, the season would be considered a failure and the Portuguese's departure would be inevitable. (A2 Televizion)
