The management of the Union has started early moves to settle the matter of the new head coach, amid reports confirming that Turkish Okan Buruk has entered the shortlist to succeed Portuguese Sergio Conceicao.

The [Tutto Mercato] website revealed that Al-Ittihad officials are considering signing Galatasaray's coach in preparation for the next season.

These moves came after the team's performance declined during the current season, prompting the management to reassess several technical matters within the club.

Okan Buruk is considered one of the most prominent coaching figures in Turkish football in recent years, having led Galatasaray to notable domestic and continental successes.

The Turkish coach possesses extensive experience in handling major matches and star players, in addition to relying on an offensive style that has given his team a strong presence on the field.

Reports indicate that the club's management is considering ending their relationship with Sergio Conceição at the end of the season, due to dissatisfaction with the team's recent results.

Union officials hope to build a new artistic project that will strongly return the team to compete for local and continental championships in the upcoming phase.
