Luis Aragones Struggling to Replicate His Euro 2008 Success at Fenerbahce

Luis Aragones is struggling to replicate his Euro 2008 success with Spanish national team at the helm of Turkish giant Fenerbahce. The Turkish club is struggling both in domestic league as well as in Europe. Recently, they suffered their first home defeat in 16 months in Champions League with visiting Arsenal demolishing Fenerbahce 5-2. Even Luis Aragones also failed to keep his team in the course of domestic title race as the Istanbul club is now at the 10th place in the Turkish Super League with only 9 points from 7 matches including 4 defeats and 3 wins.

Well, Luis Aragones led Spain to win their much sought-after European title this year with Spain defeating Germany 1-0 in the final thanks to goal from Fernando Torres. After the tournament, Aragones took up the managerial coach early in the summer, but following Fenrbahce’s poor run in both domestic league and Europe, many fans are already calling for sack of Aragones. So, the Euro winner coach is now facing a tough challenge in Turkey. Now, let us see if Aragones can boost up the confidence of Fenerbahce players and bring out success for the club as he did for Spain last July.
