Fenerbahce have appointed Emre Belozoglu as their new head coach, replacing Ismail Kartal, who resigned last week after poor results in the domestic league and the Champions League. According to Mundo Deportivo, the 46-year-old former Turkish international will make his debut on the bench at Anfield, where his side visit Liverpool this Wednesday.
Belozoglu came through Galatasaray and played for Inter, Newcastle and Atletico Madrid before returning to Fenerbahce in 2008. He won 101 caps for Turkey and scored nine goals. As a coach he has worked at several Turkish clubs, most recently Kasimpasa, which he has left to return to the Istanbul club.
Fenerbahce are sixth in the Turkish league, nine points behind Galatasaray, and have two draws and one defeat in the Champions League.
