April 28, 2026

As the possibility of a congress is on the agenda following a management meeting at Fenerbahçe, Mehmet Ali Aydinlar's preparations for candidacy and contacts with coaches have drawn attention.

Aydinlar Bombshell at Fenerbahçe: Claims of Contact with World-Famous Coaches

The eagerly awaited board meeting at Fenerbahçe has taken place. After suffering a heavy blow in the championship race with a 3-0 defeat to Galatasaray, the reasons for the team's failure and the club's future were discussed in the meeting.

Following discussions at the club headquarters, it was learned that the management has decided to part ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco after meeting with the players.

Another significant agenda item of the meeting was the possibility of an extraordinary congress. However, it was noted that a consensus could not be reached within the management on this issue, and the final decision would be made in a new meeting scheduled for the coming days.


Aydinlar's Candidacy Preparations

While these developments occurred during the management meeting, a striking claim emerged regarding Mehmet Ali Aydinlar, a former club executive and the former president of the Turkish Football Federation.

It was stated that Aydinlar would run for president if the current president Sadettin Saran's administration decides to hold an extraordinary congress.

Additionally, it was reported that Aydinlar has been in discussions with prominent figures in the Fenerbahçe community for some time and is seeking support.

According to claims, Aydinlar has already begun transfer activities for a potential presidential term and has made contact with world-renowned coaches.


Aydinlar's Past in Fenerbahçe

Mehmet Ali Aydinlar served as a member of the Turkish Football Federation Board of Directors from 2008 to 2011 before being appointed as TFF President on June 29, 2011.

Aydinlar, who previously served as a board member at Fenerbahçe, had sponsored the volleyball branch of the yellow-navy club through his Acıbadem Hospital.

Aydinlar also ran for president at the Fenerbahçe congress held on November 3, 2013, receiving 2,383 votes, while Aziz Yıldırım was elected president with 6,821 votes.


Saran's Situation Uncertain

There is currently no clear statement regarding whether President Sadettin Saran will run again if an extraordinary congress is called.

Meanwhile, it is being discussed in the corridors that two other names, in addition to Mehmet Ali Aydinlar, are preparing for the presidency.

It is reported that Hakan Safi, who is part of former president Ali Koç's board, and businessman Barış Göktürk have been holding discussions with fan associations and prominent figures in the community.

Additionally, there are claims that Hakan Safi may be included on Aydinlar's list.


Critical Meeting After the Derby

Following the 3-0 defeat in the Galatasaray derby, the Fenerbahçe management held an emergency meeting.

It was learned that some board members argued that the club should part ways with head coach Domenico Tedesco immediately.

Other board members expressed that more comprehensive decisions needed to be made.

As a result of the evaluations, the opinion to part ways with Tedesco gained weight, but the decision was postponed until the next day.


Congress Debate

Another topic that came up in the meeting was the extraordinary congress.

Some board members argued that a congress should be held, while others expressed that the current management should continue its duties.

It was learned that President Sadettin Saran postponed his decision to make a more comprehensive evaluation after all these discussions.


Ederson Claims

One of the players targeted by criticism at Fenerbahçe is goalkeeper Ederson.

Following the goals he conceded in the Rizespor match and the red card he received in the Galatasaray derby, a striking claim has emerged regarding the player whose performance has been debated.

It was suggested that Ederson earns 11 million Euros annually and could demand 10 million Euros to leave the club while his contract is still in effect.
