A former youth coach at VfB Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, he made his senior breakthrough at Erzgebirge Aue in March 2017, keeping the last-placed 2. Bundesliga side up. He was appointed by Schalke 04 later that year and finished second in the Bundesliga in his debut season, also reaching the UEFA Champions League knockout phase, before leaving in March 2019. Tedesco then coached Spartak Moscow (2019–2021), finishing second in the Russian Premier League in 2020–21. In December 2021, he took over RB Leipzig, winning the club’s first major trophy, the 2022 DFB-Pokal, and reaching the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, departing in September 2022. In February 2023, he became head coach of the Belgium national team. After completing the qualification campaign for UEFA Euro 2024 unbeaten, the team exited the main tournament in the Round of 16. Tedesco left the post in January 2025. In September 2025, ten days after José Mourinho’s departure, Tedesco was appointed as the new manager of Fenerbahçe on a two-year contract, which was abrogated in April 2026.
