Fenerbahce's new head coach shortlist is taking shape

The search for a new head coach continues at Fenerbahce following the end of Ismail Kartal's tenure. According to a report by beIN SPORTS, the shortlist has largely taken shape as a result of work carried out by Aziz Yildirim, Oguz Cetin and Cihan Kamer.

At the top of the list is Vincenzo Montella, whose role with the Turkish national team has come to an end. Among the foreign candidates, Spanish coach Jose Luis Mendilibar stands out. The 65-year-old was in charge of Olympiakos, the Greek club Fenerbahce faced in the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-finals, where they were eliminated.

Domestic names are also on the club's agenda. According to the report, a phone call was made with Abdullah Avci, followed by a face-to-face meeting in the evening. It is also claimed that Bulent Uygun is awaiting a possible offer from the club.

The club's management has not yet announced whom it will choose. The identity of the new head coach will become clear through meetings to be held in the coming days.
