Bradley Barcola and Guus Til (129) and Dominik Szoboszlai and Georginio Wijnaldum (41) the two Dutch players to do so.
His reign did not get off to the ideal start as Fener were beaten 2-1 by Göztepe on Saturday, a result that leaves them fifth in the Süper Lig. In Europe, they have just two points on the board, having been routed 6-0 by Aston Villa in between draws with Roma (1-1) and Slavia Prague (2-2).
Following that draw against Slavia Prague, the Istanbul giants are now enduring their longest-ever winless run in the European Cup or Champions League (10 games – D4 L6).
Fenerbahçe have plenty of experience, though. In fact, the average age of their starting lineups has been the oldest in the Champions League this season (29 years, 165 days), and only one player under the age of 24 has started for them in the competition this term – Jude Bellingham going goalless with a higher xG figure across the first three rounds (1.61).
Fenerbahçe vs Liverpool Head-to-Head
Wednesday’s match will be the first-ever meeting between Fenerbahçe and Liverpool.
Overall, the Reds have only won four of their 11 games against Turkish sides in the European Cup or Champions League (D2 L5).
However, their most recent such game was a 4-0 victory over Galatasaray in March this year, in the second leg of a round-of-16 tie.
Liverpool lost the first leg of that tie 1-0 in Istanbul, having also gone down by the same scoreline on another trip to Galatasaray in the league phase. It was the first time in the Reds’ European history that they had lost two away games against the same opponents in a single campaign.
And Fener have at least been difficult to beat on their own turf, drawing their last three home matches in Europe, including qualifiers (versus Lyon, Roma and Slavia Prague).
They have only had a run of four consecutive home draws once previously in Europe, between August 2010 and September 2012 (four).
