Chelsea could face competition in the race to appoint Luis Enrique as manager this summer.

Ali Koc was elected as Fenerbahce’s new President on Sunday and reportedly is already on the hunt for a new manager after current boss Aykut Kocaman handed in his resignation.

According to the daily Turkish newspaper Aksam, Fenerbahce President Ali Koc has set his sights on the former Barcelona manager Luis Enrique.

Per the source, Koc has already held talks with Enrique who is understood to be open to a move to Istanbul.

However, the news comes amid reports (Yahoo) linking Enrique with the Chelsea job. The Blues current manager Antonio Conte is expected to leave the club this summer after finishing the Premier League season outside of the top-four.

Fenerbahce finished the season in second place meaning they will participate in the UEFA Champions League next term.

Luis Enrique won the Champions League, Super Cup, World Club Cup and the La Liga during his spell in charge of Barcelona.
