Details: The Ukrainian side officially announced that Arda Turan is taking over as the new manager. His contract runs until the summer of 2027, making him the 39th head coach in Shakhtar's storied history.
Quote: "I am proud to join Shakhtar—a great club with a rich history and strong traditions. This is a team renowned across Europe, with the ambition to win every match.
I hope to contribute to the club’s legacy and bring our fans many joyful moments through our football. We are driven by a huge desire to win trophies—both in Ukraine and in European competitions," said Arda Turan.
