Aziz Yıldırım, re-elected as president of Fenerbahçe, is preparing to appoint Volkan Demirel and Dirk Kuyt to the technical structure. While it is stated that the two legendary figures have responded positively to the offer, Aykut Kocaman's name comes to the forefront for the head coach position.
Following the extraordinary general assembly with elections at Fenerbahçe, Aziz Yıldırım, who returned to the presidency, has accelerated the planning for the new season.
It has been reported that Yıldırım, who wants to restructure the technical staff as well as the transfer operations, has started efforts to bring back familiar names to the club.
AYKUT KOCAMAN EXPECTED
Aykut Kocaman's name stands out as the strongest candidate for the head coach position in the yellow-navy blue team. Oğuz Çetin, whom Aziz Yıldırım has given an important role in the football structure, stated in his statement that nothing is finalized yet, and all eyes are on the head coach decision.
VOLKAN DEMİREL AND KUYT IN TECHNICAL STAFF
According to the plan Aziz Yıldırım announced during the election process, Volkan Demirel and Dirk Kuyt are expected to be part of the technical staff. Yıldırım stated that in a meeting with Volkan Demirel, he said, "If I am elected, I want you to be on duty as well," and the experienced coach responded positively to this offer. It was also reported that Dirk Kuyt replied "I will come" to the offer made to him.
AYKUT KOCAMAN DETAIL
In a previous statement, Volkan Demirel had said that the most suitable person for the head coach position at Fenerbahçe was Aykut Kocaman. Demirel used the words, "If Aykut Kocaman takes charge, I am ready to be by his side. I will not be by anyone else's side." Therefore, if Aykut Kocaman takes office, the possibility of Volkan Demirel being part of the technical staff has become even stronger.
