Turkish top-division club Antalyaspor appointed Alex De Souza as their manager on a two-year contract.

Speaking to Anadolu, the deputy president and spokesperson Evren Alkan said their discussions with Alex De Souza, a former player for Fenerbahce, concluded successfully.

"We have signed a two-year contract with Alex. Mehmet Aurelio and two Brazilian coaches will assist him. Additionally, Mehmet Arslan will serve as the goalkeeper coach," he added.

Alkan also said the club would hold a signing ceremony with Alex in Türkiye's Mediterranean coastal province of Antalya after the end of the Super Lig season.
