World Cup winner Mesut Ozil is in talks with the Turkish Football Association over a management role, as per BILD.
The 34-year-old is negotiating a deal that could see him become the Turkish national team's technical director.
The former Arsenal, Real Madrid, Fenerbahce and Istanbul Basaksehir star announced his retirement last season.
Ozil is likely to replace Hamit Altintop who may follow Stefan Kuntz, who was sacked as Turkey coach after an underwhelming stint.
The former playmaker represented Germany 92 times and helped the team clinch the 2014 World Cup title in Brazil.
