A surprising claim has emerged from the Spanish press regarding Eyüpspor's head coach Arda Turan, who will lead a team in the future.

LOOKING FOR A COACH TO REPLACE SIMEONE

La Liga team Atletico Madrid has begun searching for a replacement for Diego Simeone, who has been the head coach for 13 years and has achieved many successes. According to Relevo's report, Atletico Madrid has been preparing for the post-Simeone era since the appointment of new football director Carlos Bucero five months ago. The main reason for this search is said to be the desire to minimize the damage of Simeone's eventual departure, who has been at the club for 13 years.

ONE OF THE CANDIDATES IS ARDA TURAN

According to sources close to Atletico Madrid, one of the names the club management is considering for the post-Simeone era is Arda Turan. The management is also considering names like Fernando Torres, Gabi, and Filipe Luis, but has included the young coach Arda Turan in their list due to his successful work with Eyüpspor in a short time. The report noted that Atletico Madrid's management has been monitoring Arda Turan and has identified him as one of the most important candidates for the post-Simeone period.

THE REASON IS THE DECREASE IN HIS INFLUENCE OVER PLAYERS

On the other hand, there is a prevailing belief within the club that a comfort zone has been created due to Simeone's influence, and that other departments are "not working well enough." It has also been stated that the Argentine coach no longer has as much influence over the players as before, and this situation is seen as the main reason for the lack of continuation of successful seasons.

THE HIGHEST EARNING COACH IN THE WORLD

Diego Simeone being one of the highest-earning coaches in the world also places a significant financial burden on the club. With the new regulations implemented in 2023, Simeone's salary has been reduced by 45-55% on a seasonal basis. However, a total of Simeone's salary, including the remaining salary for the 2023-2024 season, will be paid for a three-year period covering until 2026-2027. This arrangement allows Simeone to earn over 100 million euros in total while enabling the club to save 19 million euros in its annual salary budget.
