It remains unclear whether Emre Belözoğlu, who has been appointed as the new manager of Fenerbahçe, will be able to take his place on the bench for the Champions League match against Liverpool. The yellow-navy team is waiting for the official procedures to be completed so that their new manager can lead the team in this challenging encounter.
Following the departure of İsmail Kartal, Fenerbahçe, which had temporarily appointed Dirk Kuyt to lead the team, decided to continue with Emre Belözoğlu, who was managing Kasımpaşa. Belözoğlu, who previously served at Fenerbahçe as a player, manager, and sporting director, has returned to the yellow-navy club.
It was reported that Belözoğlu accepted the offer from the Fenerbahçe board with the words, "I do not discuss money or contract terms with Fenerbahçe. We will take responsibility during this difficult time for the club. We will get this team back on its feet together."
It was stated that the 46-year-old manager wants to be on the pitch for the Liverpool match, but this depends on whether the paperwork can be processed in time. If the procedures are completed, Fenerbahçe will head into the critical match with their new manager.
On the other hand, Emre Belözoğlu has been referred to the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) without precautionary measures due to his statements following the Beşiktaş match.
