Belözoğlu's First Test at Fenerbahçe Is the Away Game at Çorum FK

Fenerbahçe will play away at Çorum FK in Week 11 of the Süper Lig. The match will take place at Çorum City Stadium at 16:00, and Abdullah Buğra Taşkınsoy will referee. After losing their last two league matches, the Yellow-Navy side parted ways with İsmail Kartal. Under assistant coach Dirk Kuyt, Fenerbahçe beat England's Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League during the week, and they aim to win over Çorum FK as well and gain momentum after the international break. The Yellow-Navy side will meet Çorum FK in an official match for the first time in their history.

Emre Belözoğlu will lead the Yellow-Navy side in his first match in charge. The young coach took over Fenerbahçe after İsmail Kartal left the post, and he will manage the team again after about 5.5 years. The 46-year-old coach signed a 1.5-year contract and had taken over the team in the 2020-2021 season after Erol Bulut's departure. During that period, Belözoğlu managed Fenerbahçe in 10 matches, winning 7, drawing 2 and losing 1. His last match with Fenerbahçe was an away game at Kayserispor on May 15, 2021, and he will return to the dugout 2001 days later.

Fenerbahçe will be without three players for the trip to Çorum. The squad for the match was announced yesterday after the preparations were completed. Marco Asensio and Nathan Ake, who are undergoing treatment for injuries, and Archie Brown, who is suspended after a card, are not in the squad. After the international break, Fenerbahçe will play away at Kocaelispor under head coach Emre Belözoğlu. The Canaries will close November with matches against Shakhtar Donetsk and Erzurumspor.
