Could Christoph Daum Return to Coach the Canaries?

With Fenerbahçe and the rest of the league on hiatus this week for national team duty, rumours are swirling about the future of head coach Luis Aragones. The Spanish coach and his wife are currently in Kapadokya (Cappadocia) and will head to Spain later this week to provide commentary for the national team. However, a familiar name is being linked with a potential return to Fener after this season.

According to a report in Hürriyet Monday, former Fenerbahçe boss Christoph Daum is being considered for a return to the club. Daum is currently heading FC Köln in his native Germany. The 55-year-old coached the Canaries from 2003-2006 before Brazilian coach Zico took over.

Medyaspor quotes German reports as saying that Daum will not confirm or deny interest in Fener. "I won't discuss the topic at all," the coach reportedly told German media this week.

Daum is under contract with Köln through 2010 but he could take over Fener as early as next season through provisions that would allow him out of his contract. The German coach led the Canaries to two league titles during his tenure, resigning at the end of the 2005-2006 season. The team lost the title to rivals Galatasaray on the last day of the season that year.
