The former Slovenian youth international has parted ways with Bari after two years, during which he made 30 appearances. Although he was expected to get more playing time in the Serie B this season, Žan Žužek chose to move on after two years of an uncertain status in Italy, following a path similar to that of Miha Zajc and Jure Balkovec, who both first played in Italy and are now succeeding in Turkey.
In the past, Olimpija and Celje, two rival Slovenian top-flight clubs, showed interest in the former Domžale and Koper player, but Žan Žužek was not inclined to return home. Instead, he will join the ambitious club from Ankara, which aims to return to the top tier of Turkish football in the new season.
