After Fenerbahçe parted ways with İsmail Kartal, while the search for a head coach continues, Aykut Kocaman's name has come up again. It was stated that some board members suggested the experienced coach, while it was claimed that Kocaman put forward a remarkable condition for returning to the yellow-navy club.

Fenerbahçe management continues to evaluate candidates for the new head coach. Although there are figures within the management who favor a foreign coach, it was stated that some executives want Aykut Kocaman to be appointed to the position.

"IF OĞUZ ÇETİN IS NOT THERE, I WILL COME"

A striking claim was put forward regarding the possibility of Kocaman returning to Fenerbahçe. It was alleged that the experienced coach, in response to offers made to him, replied, "If Oğuz Çetin is not there, I will come." No official statement was made by the club or the experienced coach regarding Kocaman's having said these words.

HIS NAME HAD ALSO COME UP BEFORE

Aykut Kocaman's name had also come up during the previous head coach change process at Fenerbahçe. After Aziz Yıldırım was elected president, it was stated that an agreement had been reached with Kocaman, but İsmail Kartal was brought in as the team's head coach. While it is wondered who the new head coach of the yellow-and-navy side will be, Kocaman's being mentioned among the candidates again drew attention.
