A striking development occurred regarding why Fenerbahçe and Sergio Conceiçao, with whom it had largely reached an agreement for the managerial position, parted ways. It was claimed that after the Portuguese coach increased his salary demand at the last moment, the yellow-navy management ended the negotiations. It was stated that Conceiçao, on the other hand, wanted to continue his career in one of Europe's five major leagues.
New information has emerged regarding why the agreement with Sergio Conceiçao, who came to the fore for the head coaching position after İsmail Kartal's departure at Fenerbahçe, was not finalized. It was reported that the development that occurred during the process in which the yellow-and-navy club made significant progress in negotiations with the Portuguese coach and was preparing to invite him to Istanbul disrupted the agreement at the last moment.
HE INCREASED HIS WAGE DEMAND AT THE LAST MOMENT
It was claimed that the Fenerbahçe management was close to signing a contract with Sergio Conceiçao, but the Portuguese coach requested a change in financial conditions at the final stage. It was reported that after Conceiçao increased his wage demand, the yellow-and-navy executives ended the negotiations. Thus, the agreement, which had largely been reached, ended before it was made official.
HE IS WAITING FOR AN OFFER FROM THE BIG FIVE LEAGUES
Famous journalist Fabrizio Romano also shared noteworthy information about Sergio Conceiçao's future. According to Romano, the Portuguese coach wants to continue his career in one of Europe's big five leagues and is waiting for offers from these leagues. Conceiçao, who most recently managed the Saudi Arabian representative Al-Ittihad, has not been in charge of any team since June 30.
