Daum has previous experience of the Turkish league
|
German coach Christoph Daum has been unveiled as the new manager of Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Daum, who quit Austria Vienna last weekend after taking them
to the league title, signed a contract at a special ceremony
in Istanbul.
He had two previous stints in Turkey with this season's
league champions Besiktas.
Daum was once the Germany coach-elect but lost that
opportunity and was fired by his club Bayer Leverkusen three
years ago after testing positive for cocaine.
He is Fenerbahce's 10th coach since Aziz Yildirim took over
as chairman of the club in 1998 and replaces stand-in coach
Tamer Guney.
Fenerbahce have fallen behind Istanbul rivals Galatasaray
and Besiktas in the domestic standings.
And they finished sixth in the
Turkish super league this season, out of the reckoning for both
the Champions League and Uefa Cup.
