Fenerbahçe turn to Lorant

Members

Former TSV 1860 München coach Werner Lorant has agreed to take the helm at Fenerbahçe SK.

Former TSV 1860 München coach Werner Lorant agreed on Wednesday to become the new Fenerbahçe SK coach.

Contract agreed
Fenerbahçe vice-president Sadettin Saran met the 53-year-old German in Frankfurt to iron out terms of the contract which ties him to the Istanbul club until the end of June 2004.

Denizli dismissed
Mustafa Denizli, the former Turkish national team coach, was fired on Christmas Eve by Fenerbahçe. Denizli, Turkey's coach at EURO 2000™, was shown the door because of Fenerbahçe's recent poor form which has seen them drop to third place in the 1. Lig, two points behind Besiktas JK and Galatasaray SK.

Lorant sacked
Lorant lost his job as 1860 coach in October and is currently pursuing a pay-off from the club he was contracted to until 30 June 2003.
