Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Arda Turan is unlikely to take the helm at Besiktas, according to Turkish journalist Suat Umurhan. Speaking on A Spor, Umurhan addressed recent speculation regarding the manager's future.
The journalist stated that Turan's primary ambition is to manage Galatasaray. He expressed confidence that the former player will eventually lead the club, whether in the immediate future or later in his career.
He will not come. He is waiting for Galatasaray. He will come and take charge of Galatasaray tomorrow or at another time, but that day will come. Suat Umurhan
Umurhan noted that Turan is currently on the radar of several European clubs, suggesting he might move to a different team abroad before eventually returning to Turkey. The wider context regarding his tenure at Shakhtar remains subject to the ongoing situation in Ukraine.
