Sergio Conceicao rejects Fenerbahce proposal

Calciomercato.com reports that Sergio Conceicao has turned down Fenerbahce’s proposal to become the club’s next head coach. The Portuguese manager, currently without a team after leaving Al-Ittihad, reportedly rejected the offer for sporting rather than financial reasons, preferring to wait for an opportunity from a club in one of Europe’s top five leagues. Fenerbahce are seeking a replacement for Ismail Kartal, with Dirk Kuyt currently handling the team on an interim basis. Turkish media report that Emre Belözoğlu is expected to take charge after leaving Kasimpasa, with his signing anticipated shortly.
