Tahir Karapinar is technically caretaker manager but the experienced midfielder has been de-facto manager calling the shots.
Belozoglu will take over as a general director next season given full responsibility over sporting director duties and authority over the first team.

The goal rescued a point for Fenerbahce and moved them two points within 4th placed Galatasaray with a game in hand.
Belozoglu is one of the most decorated player in Turkish football having won five Super Lig titles, the UEFA Cup, two UEFA Super Cup’s, four Turkish Cup trophies and helped guide Turkey to 3rd place in World Cup 2020.
