Sergio Conceiçao Emerges as Head Coach Candidate at Fenerbahçe

Following the resignation of İsmail Kartal, Fenerbahçe's management is trying to determine a new head coach. At the board meeting, the name of Portuguese coach Sergio Conceiçao came to the fore, and he was invited to Istanbul to complete the talks.

The 51-year-old coach is expected to watch the Liverpool match from the stands and to take charge of the team for the Çorum match. If there is a hitch with Conceiçao, Aykut Kocaman is reported could come back into consideration.

The club is expected to sign the Portuguese coach to a 1.5-year contract. Conceiçao began his head coaching career in 2012 and reached the summit with Porto in 2017.

After Kartal's resignation, Dirk Kuyt took over the team, but despite going 1-0 up in the Göztepe match, Fenerbahçe lost 2-1. The consecutive results led to fans reacting against the management and players.
