Osayi-Samuel on Mourinho: “He Can Be Scary”
Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel is settling in well under the guidance of renowned manager Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce. Having joined the Turkish club from QPR in the winter of 2021, Osayi-Samuel quickly became a fan favorite, notably for his on-field performances and a memorable incident where he defended himself against a rival fan who invaded the pitch.
Now under the leadership of Mourinho, Osayi-Samuel is excited about the new chapter in his career. In a recent interview, he expressed both respect and admiration for the Portuguese coach. He described Mourinho as “scary but also very nice,” highlighting the duality of the manager’s demanding yet supportive nature. Osayi-Samuel is eager to learn from Mourinho, acknowledging the confidence the coach instills in his players and the rich history of the players he’s worked with.
Fenerbahce appointed Mourinho after parting ways with former manager Ismail Kartal, who was let go despite a strong season where the team finished second in the league with 99 points. The pressure is high for Mourinho to succeed, especially considering the high expectations at the club. Former Chelsea star and Mourinho’s former player, Mikel Obi, warned him about the passionate nature of Turkish fans, who can quickly turn on a coach if results are not favorable.
