Dursun Özbek has made his decision regarding Okan Buruk

In Galatasaray, which has taken another step toward the championship with the Fenerbahçe victory, celebrations were held on the pitch with the fans after the match. The performance of head coach Okan Buruk stood out in the success achieved by the yellow-reds.

ELECTION AGENDA IN MANAGEMENT

A presidential election will be held at Galatasaray on May 23. While no challenger has emerged against current president Dursun Özbek so far, his re-election is considered certain. Changes in the management are planned for the new term.

NEW CONTRACT PLAN WITH OKAN BURUK

If re-elected president, one of Dursun Özbek's first steps is expected to be renewing the contract with Okan Buruk. It is planned to extend the current head coach's contract by two more years and for him to continue his duties until 2028. It is stated that Özbek wants to continue working with Buruk throughout his term.

SALARY AND BONUS INCREASE ON THE AGENDA

Okan Buruk, who receives 200 million TL, the ceiling fee determined for domestic head coaches this season, is expected to sign a contract with a raise following the anticipated new championship.

AIMING FOR THE TOP AS BOTH PLAYER AND HEAD COACH

Okan Buruk experienced four championships between 1996 and 2000 during his playing career under Fatih Terim. Buruk aims to repeat the same success this time as a head coach.

Galatasaray, which became champion 8 points ahead of Fenerbahçe in the first season he took office, broke a record with 102 points in the second season. Finishing last season with 95 points and an 11-point lead, the yellow-red team earned its fifth star.

SUPERIORITY IN DERBIES

Okan Buruk, who reached his 200th match at the helm of Galatasaray, has achieved 143 wins, 28 draws, and 29 losses during this period. The team under Buruk's management won 6 of the 11 derbies played against Fenerbahçe. Furthermore, the opponent was not allowed to score in five league matches played over the last four seasons.
