Gençlerbirliği, after parting ways with Levent Şahin, has turned its attention back to Volkan Demirel. It has been learned that the capital team made an offer to the young coach who resigned 3 months ago.
The technical director position at Gençlerbirliği, one of the Super League teams, may change again. The capital representative has taken action to bring back Volkan Demirel, whom they recently parted ways with, to lead the team once more.
LEVENT ŞAHİN PARTED WAYS
Gençlerbirliği did not find what they were looking for with Levent Şahin, who was appointed after Metin Diyadin. The capital team collected only 1 point in the two matches played under Şahin's management, leading the administration to make the decision to part ways.
The statement made by the club included the following expressions:
"Due to the differences in opinion we experienced with our Technical Director Levent Şahin, we have mutually agreed to part ways as a result of the discussions held. We thank our Technical Director Levent Şahin and his team for their efforts and contributions to our club, and we wish them success in their future careers."
NEW CANDIDATE VOLKAN DEMİREL
After parting ways with Levent Şahin, the management of Gençlerbirliği turned their attention back to Volkan Demirel. According to the news from Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the capital team made an offer to the young coach.
Volkan Demirel had managed Gençlerbirliği in 5 Super League matches this season, achieving 2 victories and 3 defeats during this period.
RESIGNED AFTER VICTORY
Demirel surprisingly left his position after the 3-0 victory against Fatih Karagümrük on December 7. The young coach stated in a statement at that time that he left of his own accord, thinking that the new management might have different plans.
4 DIFFERENT COACHES THIS SEASON
This season, the changes in the technical director position at Gençlerbirliği have drawn attention. In the capital representative, Hüseyin Eroğlu was in charge for 11 matches, Volkan Demirel for 6 matches, Metin Diyadin for 9 matches, and Levent Şahin for 3 matches.
