Joachim Low to become Fenerbahce boss
Ex-germany boss Joachim Low will reportedly become the new Fenerbahce boss in the summer, despite his long-running feud with Mesut Ozil.
The move will allow Low to bury the hatchet with his former player Ozil.
Ozil and Manchester City ace Ilkay Gundogan, who are both of Turkish descent, were pictured alongside controversial Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan ahead of the 2018 World Cup.
The photo sparked outrage and when the defending champions crashed out in the group stages, Ozil seemingly became the scapegoat for Germany's exit.
Low has expressed his desire to talk things through with Ozil.
Watford terminated Ozan Tufan's loan
Watford have terminated the season-long loan of midfielder Ozan Tufan.
The Turkish midfielder arrived from Fenerbahce under Xisco Munoz last summer.
But after failing to make an impact, he has been sent back to Turkey by new Hornets boss Roy Hodgson.
Tufan, 26, made just nine appearances for Watford.
Pereira on shortlist to replace Rafa Benitez
Vitor Pereira is the latest boss to be interviewed for the Everton vacancy.
The Portuguese is a free agent after being sacked by Turkish side Fenerbahce last month.
Pereira is on a shortlist to replace axed Rafa Benitez that also includes Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard and caretaker Duncan Ferguson, although Everton are considering a wide range of candidates.
Saturday’s 1-0 home defeat by Aston Villa has heightened fears they will be dragged into a relegation scrap.
But keeper Jordan Pickford is confident the Toffees, who have not been relegated since 1951, will survive.
He said: "The fight, intensity, tempo was there. We showed that graft.
"We showed character and desire. It was just that finishing touch but that will come.
"It's about working hard on the training pitch, and then going out there and expressing yourself with determination and we'll get those results."
