Fenerbahçe, which parted ways with Jose Mourinho and wants to determine its new coach during the international break, is preparing to be the center of attention worldwide. The Fenerbahçe management has taken action to bring the legend of the green fields, Zinedine Zidane.
ZIDANE BOMB FROM FENERBAHÇE
According to a report in Sabah, President Ali Koç, who has stated that he is definitely in favor of a foreign coach, wants to entrust the star-studded team to a name that will not be a subject of debate.
Sporting director Devin Özek contacted Ange Postecoglou, Luciano Spalletti, and Domenico Tedesco to present their situations, while it was noted that Spalletti declined the offer because he wanted to spend time with his family.
PRE-AGREEMENT REACHED
According to Sabah, following these developments, the management accelerated its pace and took a surprising step by sitting down with Zinedine Zidane. It was learned that the French coach responded positively to the offer and a pre-agreement was reached between the parties. Once discussions on salary and contract details are completed, the 53-year-old coach will come to Turkey.
Starting his coaching career at Real Madrid Castilla, Zidane, nicknamed Zizou, took over Real Madrid in January 2016 after Rafael Benitez's departure. During his tenure at the purple-white team until June 2018, he won 3 Champions League titles, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 2 Club World Cups, 1 La Liga, and 1 Spanish Super Cup. The Algerian-born French coach returned to the seat in Madrid in March 2019 and parted ways in June 2021. In his second term, he achieved 1 La Liga and Spanish Super Cup championships.
