Mesut Ozil’s Fenerbahce career appears to be over after new manager Jorge Jesus stressed the importance of putting the club above any one player.

The 33-year-old’s move back to Turkey has been anything but a fairytale, with the former Arsenal and Real Madrid midfielder frozen out of the first team picture in March alongside teammate Ozan Tufan.

There had been hope that Jesus’ appointment as manager may turn things around for Ozil, but the veteran Portuguese boss has moved to end any such speculation – telling a news conference at his unveiling that even though Ozil has a ‘beautiful history in Turkey’, it’s time for Fenerbahce to move on into a new era.

“He had his time, his space,” Jesus said. “He has a beautiful history in Turkey, nobody can take it away from him. He is a well-known player around the world. But I will follow exactly what was the end of the Ozil era.

“The most important thing here is not the coach Jorge Jesus, the most important thing here is not the player Ozil, the most important thing here is not any player. The most important thing here is Fenerbahce and it is from there that I build my ideas and the players who come to work with me.”
