Former Atlético and Barcelona star Arda Turan to take charge of Shakhtar Donetsk

Fabrizio Romano reports that the former Barcelona and Atlético Madrid player will become the new head coach of Shakhtar Donetsk.

Details: After a successful season with Eyüpspor (sixth place in the Turkish Süper Lig), Turan accepted the offer to take charge of Shakhtar Donetsk. The Ukrainian club had been searching for a new head coach following a disappointing campaign under Marino Pusic. In the 2024/2025 season, Shakhtar finished below second place for the first time since the 1995/1996 campaign.
The contract with Turan will be signed for two years.
