Domenico Tedesco, born on September twelfth, nineteen eighty-five, is an accomplished Italian-German football manager currently leading the Turkish Süper Lig club Fenerbahçe.

In March two thousand seventeen, Tedesco took the reins at Erzgebirge Aue, successfully guiding the struggling team to safety in the 2. Bundesliga. His impressive performance caught the attention of Schalke 04, where he made a remarkable debut season, finishing second in the Bundesliga and advancing to the UEFA Champions League knockout stage.
Following his tenure at Schalke, Tedesco moved to Spartak Moscow from two thousand nineteen to two thousand twenty-one, securing a second-place finish in the Russian Premier League. He then joined RB Leipzig in December two thousand twenty-one, where he achieved a historic milestone by winning the club's first major trophy, the DFB-Pokal, in two thousand twenty-two, while also reaching the UEFA Europa League semi-finals.
In February two thousand twenty-three, Tedesco was appointed head coach of the Belgium national team, leading them through an unbeaten qualification campaign for UEFA Euro twenty twenty-four. However, the team faced an early exit in the Round of sixteen of the tournament, and he departed from the role in January two thousand twenty-five. In September two thousand twenty-five, he was named the new manager of Fenerbahçe, just ten days after José Mourinho's departure, signing a two-year contract.
