After Emre Belözoğlu was appointed as head coach at Fenerbahçe, a surprise development occurred in the football structure. It was claimed that Roma's legendary footballer Francesco Totti came to Istanbul for the yellow-navy club. While it was stated that the Italian football figure could take on a role that would contribute to Fenerbahçe's football structure, it was alleged that President Aziz Yıldırım was preparing for important changes during the national break and the mid-season break.
The restructuring process that began at Fenerbahçe after the parting of ways with İsmail Kartal has gained pace. It was claimed that the yellow-navy management, which entrusted the head coach position to Emre Belözoğlu, has this time contacted a world-famous name to strengthen the football organization. The claim that Francesco Totti, one of the unforgettable names of Italian football, came to Istanbul was interpreted as preparation for a new era at Fenerbahçe.
CLAIM THAT FRANCESCO TOTTI CAME TO ISTANBUL FOR FENERBAHÇE
According to a report by Sözcü newspaper, Roma's legendary footballer Francesco Totti came to Istanbul to hold talks with Fenerbahçe. It was suggested that the yellow-navy club wants to use the Italian football figure in its football structure and that the parties are close to an agreement.
It was stated that Totti is planned to take on a role related to the football organization at Fenerbahçe, not a head coaching position. However, no official statement has yet been made regarding the content of the talks or the possible job description.
BIG OPERATION PREPARATION FROM AZİZ YILDIRIM
The report also claimed that Fenerbahçe President Aziz Yıldırım plans to make comprehensive changes in the football structure during the international break and the mid-season break. It was alleged that in the new process that began with Emre Belözoğlu being appointed to the role, the aim is to bring a name with international experience such as Totti to the club.
It was stated that the yellow-navy management's possible move may not be limited to a head coach change and that a new restructuring could also be undertaken in the football organization.
ROMA'S LEGEND ALSO SERVED IN FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT
Francesco Totti, who spent his entire professional football career at Roma, became one of the symbolic names of the Italian club. Totti, who retired from football in 2017, then held a managerial position at Roma. The former star, who left his role at the club in 2019, continued his work in the football world in different areas.
After his football career, Totti founded the sports consultancy and player management agency CT10. Additionally, this experience of the Italian football figure, who is also involved in work aimed at discovering young talents, draws attention with regard to the possible role he could take on at Fenerbahçe.
EYES ON THE UPCOMING STATEMENT FROM FENERBAHÇE
At Fenerbahçe, which has opened a new page under Emre Belözoğlu, the Francesco Totti claim increased expectations regarding the football structure. While it was suggested that the Italian football figure came to Istanbul and could take on a role at the yellow-navy club, there has not yet been official confirmation from the parties. Whether Totti will reach an agreement with Fenerbahçe will become clear in the coming period.
