Kocaman returns with Demirel and Şahin on his staff
Aykut Kocaman is set to become Fenerbahçe's new manager, bringing former goalkeeping great Volkan Demirel and ex-midfielder Selçuk Şahin into his technical team (1) (4). This is a full-throated return to the club's DNA, Kocaman, Demirel, and Şahin are three names that carry serious weight in Kadıköy. The move comes as part of Aziz Yıldırım's presidential campaign, with the election set to decide the club's direction. Kocaman had previously stepped away from Fenerbahçe affairs, but he is now at the center of the club's future.
Kocaman already working on first transfer
Kocaman isn't waiting around. He has reportedly opened talks with Rizespor over a transfer move, targeting reinforcements before the squad even assembles (3). No names confirmed yet, but the new manager is clearly moving fast to shape the squad his way.
Guirassy talks on the horizon
Fenerbahçe are preparing to hold direct talks with Guinean striker Serhou Guirassy (2). The club has tracked him for a long time, and this appears to be a concrete step toward a deal. Guirassy's profile, physical, mobile, clinical, fits a squad that needs a reliable goalscorer up top.
Fenerbahçe eye rival's former star
In a move that would raise eyebrows across Istanbul, Fenerbahçe are targeting a former star of their arch-rivals for the attacking line (5). Details remain thin, but the intent is clear, the club wants to add firepower and isn't afraid to cross traditional boundaries to get it.
