Ismoil Kartal is expected to return to Fenerbahce

The Turkish club Fenerbahce, after being eliminated from the Champions League and dismissing Jose Mourinho, is on the verge of announcing the name of the team's new head coach. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

The Milliyet portal reports on this. According to the source, Fenerbahce considered several candidates.

Among them were Sebastian Hynes, Roger Schmidt, Ange Postecoglou, and Luciano Spalletti. However, currently, the local specialist Ismoil Kartal is expected to return to the team.

His appointment may be confirmed today. Kartal has managed Fenerbahce three times — in 2014-2015, in 2022, and in 2023-2024.

His only achievement with this team is the Turkish Super Cup won in 2014. Additionally, he led Sivaspor to victory in the first Turkish league.

The appointment of the new coach is eagerly awaited by both the club and the fans.
