Following Emre Belözoğlu's appointment as head coach at Fenerbahçe, another surprise development occurred. It was claimed that the yellow-navy management also wants to bring back Volkan Demirel, one of the club's former captains. It was alleged that Demirel is being considered to replace football director Oğuz Çetin.
After Emre Belözoğlu was appointed as head coach at Fenerbahçe, it was stated that new changes in the football structure have come to the agenda. It was claimed that the yellow-navy club is preparing to take action to bring former captain Volkan Demirel back into its fold.
THE VOLKAN DEMİREL MOVE AFTER EMRE BELÖZOĞLU
According to Sabah's report, the Fenerbahçe management plans to bring Volkan Demirel back to the club after Emre Belözoğlu. Demirel, who wore the yellow-navy jersey for many years and took a step into coaching after his playing career, is expected to take on an important role in the football structure in the new era. The 45-year-old coach, who most recently managed Gençlerbirliği, is expected to return to Fenerbahçe this time in a different role.
BEING CONSIDERED TO REPLACE OĞUZ ÇETİN
According to the claim in the report, the yellow-navy management is evaluating parting ways with football director Oğuz Çetin. If Çetin leaves his position, Volkan Demirel is planned to be brought in to replace him. Thus, a new structure in which Emre Belözoğlu takes on the head coach role and Volkan Demirel the football director role at Fenerbahçe could come to the agenda.
EYES ON THE MANAGEMENT'S UPCOMING DECISION
At Fenerbahçe, the possibility of Volkan Demirel also returning to the club after Emre Belözoğlu became one of the notable developments of the new era. However, no official statement has yet been made regarding Oğuz Çetin's departure and Demirel's appointment to the role.
