Long-time Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul assistant coach Erdem Can will officially join the Utah Jazz coaching staff.

Can was one of the main candidates to take over head coaching duties for Fenerbahce after Igor Kokoskov left for the Dallas Mavericks. However, Sasha Djordjevic was selected to coach the Turkish powerhouse.

The 40-year-old Can already has some experience working in the NBA. He has been one of the coaches for the Jazz in the NBA Summer League for the past six years.
