Several Turkish news outlets have indicated that Halkbank, following its recent separation from head coach Taner Atik, is negotiating with Serbian coach Slobodan Kovac to bring him onboard. Kovac has prior experience with Halkbank, having served as the team’s head coach in 2017, replacing Camilo Placi, and continuing into the 2017/2018 season.
In addition to these negotiations, rumors are also swirling about a possible agreement between Halkbank Ankara and French volleyball star, Earvin Ngapeth.
