Ex-Arsenal star Ozil in Turkish FA talks over top position

Former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is in talks with Turkey about a management role.

Ozil is discussing taking the technical manager's position with the Turkish national team.

The former Fenerbahce and Istanbul Basaksehir midfielder announced his retirement last season.

Hamit Altintop's job as FA technical director is in doubt, with Ozil a candidate to replace him, says BILD.

Altintop could follow Stefan Kuntz, who was sacked as Turkey coach earlier this year.
