The future of head coach Okan Buruk, who has been the main contributor to the Turkish football team "Galatasaray" winning the championship for the last three seasons in a row, has become clear. The 52-year-old specialist, who is in the sights of several ambitious European clubs, is preparing to sign a new contract with the "yellow-red" management.
İdman.Biz reports with reference to the Turkish press that the successful results of Okan Buruk both in the domestic championship and in the European arena have attracted the attention of Italian, German and French clubs. However, the "Galatasaray" management and personally President Dursun Özbek have taken action to keep the successful coach in the team.
According to the information, the club management will meet with Okan Buruk in the near future and offer to extend the term of the contract, which will expire at the end of the season. It is expected that the annual income of the experienced coach will be significantly increased in the new contract.
Although Okan Buruk dreams of coaching a team in Europe, his current priority is to stay at "Galatasaray". The main goal of the head coach is to become the champion this season as well and to be the only specialist to achieve this record in Turkish football history by winning gold medals for the fifth time in a row next year. There is no doubt that Buruk will say "yes" to the new contract because of this great goal.
