Aziz Yildirim has been elected president of Fenerbahce, according to unofficial results, completing one of the most striking comebacks in Turkish football governance after eight years out of power, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.

The 73-year-old civil engineer and businessman, who led the Istanbul giant for two uninterrupted decades from 1998 to 2018, defeated challenger Hakan Safi at an extraordinary general assembly held on Sunday in Kadikoy.

The result cements Yildirim's return to one of the most consequential seats in Turkish sport, a position he once held long enough to become synonymous with the club itself.
