The Fenerbahçe presidential race has entered a new phase. Former president Aziz Yıldırım has announced that he will be a candidate.
Aziz Yıldırım, who has announced his candidacy for the Fenerbahçe presidency once again, will hold a press conference today at 13:30.
In an interview with a television channel in recent days, Yıldırım had said, "We will hold a press conference, and there I will announce that I am a candidate for the Fenerbahçe presidency at the Fenerbahçe congress."
Aziz Yıldırım's decision to run has created excitement among Fenerbahçe fans while signaling that the congress process will be quite contentious.
"BY SAYING 'HE IS OUR BOY'..."
Promising to bring world-renowned manager Jose Mourinho to lead the team if he wins the presidency, Yıldırım used the following expressions:
Fenerbahçe no longer has the luxury of continuing in terms of coaching by saying 'He is our boy.'
"I WILL BRING JOSE MOURINHO"
Fenerbahçe must now compete with great coaches. I met with Jose Mourinho face-to-face last week. I told him, 'Fenerbahçe needs you, and you need Fenerbahçe.' He welcomed this with pleasure.
Most likely, if we win, I will bring Mourinho to lead Fenerbahçe. We will also sign as many players as he wants. Mourinho said he watched the Konyaspor-Fenerbahçe match live. He is studying Fenerbahçe.
Yıldırım was elected President of Fenerbahçe Club at the ordinary general assembly held on February 15, 1998, in the yellow-and-navy club, by defeating the other candidate, Vefa Küçük, by just 1 vote.
Having served for 20 years afterward, Yıldırım handed over the position to Ali Koç in the elections held in 2018.
