Fenerbahçe Beko, which was excluded from the THY EuroLeague play-offs for the first time in 8 years, has several candidates for the throne of coach Aleksandar Djordjevic. If you wish, let’s take a look at the latest developments and names circulating in the backstage…
There are two questions that the Fenerbahçe community has been dealing with for a long time after the season, which was below expectations in football and basketball;
1- Who will be the coach of the football team next season?
2- Which coach will coach Fenerbahçe Beko next season?
Although the name Joachim Löw for the football team has not been talked about for a long time, the pointer has started to show Portuguese coach Jorge Jesus lately. It seems likely that steps will be taken regarding Jesus in the near term and that the 67-year-old coach will be the head of the yellow and dark blue team next season.
However, the turmoil that started after the departure of Zeljko Obradovic in basketball cannot be ended. First of all, in Fenerbahçe Beko, where Igor Kokoşkov ‘passed like the wind’, Aleksandar Djordjevic, who took over the helm after Kokoşkov, could not meet the expectations.
After exactly 8 years, the management started planning important moves for Fenerbahçe Beko, which was excluded from the THY EuroLeague play-offs.
The most popular claims circulating in the backstage at the moment emerged as follows;
1- Aleksandar Djordjevic and the roads are definitely parting.
2- Dimitris Itoudis, who is the coach of CSKA Moscow and a student of Zeljko Obradovic -he had been the assistant coach of Obradovic at Panathinaikos for 13 years- wants to take charge in Fenerbahçe Beko next season.
3- In this decision of Itoudis; The embargoes and uncertainty imposed on the Russian representative teams by the EuroLeague have a share… Also, CSKA Moscow is not completely satisfied with the Greek coach’s performance in the last 2 seasons.
4- Fenerbahce President Ali Koç and the management met with Spanish coach Xavier Pascual’s elder brother (manager) at a dinner in Istanbul in the past period. The President welcomes Pascual as an alternative plan. However, some officials in the basketball branch are not positive about Pascual.
5- Some officials in Fenerbahçe basketball branch were eager for Bayern Munich’s coach Andrea Trinchieri. However, after the heart rate check against Bayern Munich, the attitude of the club took this issue out of the plan.
Recently, coach Dimitris Itoudis made an official statement regarding his future at CSKA Moscow, “The fact that I’m here, that I haven’t been, that I haven’t even thought of going, tells a lot. Of course, we live in a world where the future doesn’t always depend on us.” He had not neglected to leave the door open for Fenerbahçe Beko.
The near-term process will show the coach of the next season. However, it is obvious that Fenerbahce fans are most keen on Dimitris Itoudis’s move…
