Newcastle legend, 46, returns to former club as new manager after cigar-smoking icon snubbed shock job offer

EMRE BELOZOGLU has returned to his Fenerbahce after the club was snubbed by Sergio Conceicao. The Turkish giants have been under the guidance of former Liverpool star Dirk Kuyt since the exit of Ismail Kartal last month. Belozoglu , 46, is best known in England for his three-year stint at Newcastle between 2005 and 2008. He left the Magpies for Fenerbahce , where he would have multiple spells as a player. The former midfielder went into management after retiring from playing in 2020. Emre earned plaudits during his recent spell in charge of Turkish Süper Lig outfit Kasimpasa.
