Following the departure of head coach İsmail Kartal, Fenerbahçe’s search for a new manager has accelerated. It has been claimed that Italian coach Antonio Conte is at the top of the list for the yellow-navy club.
Sports commentator Emre Özcan stated that Conte, who most recently managed Serie A side Napoli, is the “number one coaching candidate” for Fenerbahçe.
Conte is currently number one. If he can be acquired, he is a coach who should be signed immediately. It is difficult with this squad, but if there is anyone who can succeed, it is Conte.
Conte is known as a manager who has made his mark in European football, particularly during his tenures at Juventus, Chelsea, and Inter. The experienced coach has worked at clubs such as Atalanta, Juventus, Chelsea, Inter, Tottenham, and Napoli; he also managed the Italian National Team between 2014 and 2016.
The Italian coach’s last stop was Napoli. Managing Napoli between July 2024 and June 2026, Conte recorded 54 wins, 19 draws, and 18 losses in 91 official matches. During this period, he achieved an average of 1.99 points per game.
The management’s choice of head coach at Fenerbahçe will be decisive for the new season’s structure and transfer planning. Whether the Conte rumors will become official is being closely followed by the yellow-navy community.
