OVERVIEW

HONOURS
-
COACH
Fenerbahce icon Aykut Kocaman was the country’s top scorer three times and has been in charge since October 2014.
HOW THEY QUALIFIED
Third place last term was their best-ever finish and was an achievement largely built on a long unbeaten run in the new year. Qualified directly for the Europa League group phase.
TACTICS
Kocaman prefers a 4-2-3-1 with an intense, high pressing game and fast counterattacks on the flanks. They love nothing more than a physical, full-blooded battle.
