Djiku gells with Mourinho
Jose Mourinho was recently unveiled as Fenerbahçe's new coach at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium, sitting next to club president Ali Koç.
The manager has won 26 major trophies, including two Champions League titles and three Premier Leagues.
Fenerbahçe shared photos of their players' first stint with the new manager, captioning it:
Our football players Osayi Samuel and Alexander Djiku attended our Topuk Plateau Camp."
Fans are hopeful Djiku will significantly develop under Jose Mourinho as they fight to win the Turkish League for the first time since 2013.
Speaking to sports analyst Haruna Mubarak from Joy Sports about Djiku's chances of developing under Jose Mourinho, he said,
Mourinho has been instrumental in the lives of many African players. Talk about Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, Solomon Kalou, etc. The strength of Jose Mournho's teams, from Porto through to Chelsea and Real Madrid is the defence. Djiku as a defender will really benefit a lot from his new manager. His performance is going to be a notch higher because he has someone that defensively knows how to build a formidable team.
