With Diego Simeone's potential departure from Atletico, Arda Turan is reportedly among the candidates for the head coach position. If this happens, Arda Turan and Arda Güler from Real Madrid could be rivals in Spain.
According to Lent.az, citing foreign media, rumors have emerged that Arda Turan is on the list of potential candidates to coach Atletico after Simeone's possible departure. If this materializes, it could create an interesting scenario for Turkish football.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Fichajes", the Atletico management is evaluating potential successors to Simeone who understand the club's DNA and can provide strong leadership in the locker room. Among the candidates are Arda Turan, Filipe Luis, and Gabi.
Arda Turan's candidacy for the head coach position, after playing successfully for Atletico for many years, has attracted attention in the football world. It is reported that the club management is looking for former players who know the team well.
If this scenario comes true, Arda Turan, who will coach Atletico, could face Arda Güler, the Turkish national team star currently playing for Real Madrid. Thus, two prominent figures of Turkish football could face each other in a coach-player rivalry in Spain.
