Liverpool assistant Zeljko Buvac in contention for Fenerbache job

Liverpool man Zeljko Buvac is in the frame to move to Turkey to become Fenerbache’s new manager, according to the Mirror.

The Serbian had been working with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp for over 17 years before going on leave at the end of last season.

Buvac went on a leave of absence from Liverpool for “personal reasons” forcing Klopp to move on from his longtime partner.

Now, Buvac could be set to join Fenerbahce, with current boss Phillip Cocu under pressure after only one win in five games.

Reports have touted Arsene Wenger and Aykut Kocaman as replacements, but Buvac could also be in the frame to take over.

Buvac is thought to be a key figure at Liverpool, and was able to get the clubs successful “genenpress” tactic working at Anfield.

The Reds man worked with Klopp at Dortmund and Mainz before making the move to Liverpool with Klopp.
