Fenerbahçe appoint Emre Belozoglu after Sergio Conceicao talks collapse

Fenerbahçe have officially appointed Emre Belozoglu as their new head coach, the club announced on social media on Tuesday evening, as reported by zerozero. The former player and club legend is returning home, with the club stating he will be "sweating for the shirt, fighting for this emblem, staying firm in the moments..."

This comes after negotiations with Sergio Conceicao fell through. According to A Spor, an agreement had been reached on a 1.5-year contract, but TuttoMercatoWeb reported that no deal was in place. Calciomercato.com claims Conceicao said no, while Bola na Rede cites the club's instability, timing, and Conceicao's desire to wait for top-5 league opportunities as reasons for the impasse. Record confirms no agreement was reached.
