Serbian media report on coach Slobodan Kovač's move to Fenerbahçe, where Denis Karyagin also plays. The 57-year-old Serbian specialist, who worked at Halkbank Ankara last season, has coaching experience in Italy (Cisterna, Perugia), Russia (Belgorod), and Poland (Jastrzębski and Skra Bełchatów), as well as having coached the national teams of Iran, Slovenia, and Serbia. The decision is a result of the difficult start to the season for the Turkish team, which suffered a loss in the Champions League match against Monza. This defeat, as well as the one in the championship against Izmir, led to the dismissal of Kerem Eryılmaz. The Serbian website meridiansport.rs also reports on the upcoming arrival of Earvin Ngapeth, who had long stated that he would only stay in Poitiers for the first part of the season. However, the issue of contract duration still needs to be resolved, as there is a discrepancy between the Turkish club and the player.
