“Fatih” persuaded Pirlo to sign a new contract, but he did not want to” – Ozdoev’s agent

Italian specialist Andrea Pirlo did not want to renew the contract with the Fatih Karagyumryuk club, despite the persuasion of the club’s management, Anzor Gargaev, an agent of the Russian midfielder of the Turkish team Magomed Ozdoev, said.

Pirlo, 44, took over the team in the summer of 2022 on a one-season contract.

– Pirlo’s departure is not a dismissal. The coach’s contract has expired. The championship was already supposed to end, but it was extended due to the elections and the tragedy. The club’s management persuaded Pirlo to sign a new contract, but for some reason he did not want to. Maybe he got a good offer. As far as I know, Pirlo had several serious offers.

His departure is related to formalities: there are only three games left, and his contract has ended – it’s just a non-renewal of the contract. The team just found out about it today. Will this affect Ozdoev’s future at the club? The leadership trusts Magomed. Ozdoev is one of the leaders of the team,” Gargaev told the “Championship”.

Fatih Karagumruk, after 33 matches with 44 points, is in ninth place in the standings of the Turkish championship.
