What happened in Turkish football today? 15/11/2017


Antalyaspor CEO Ali Safak Ozturk has called suddenly for CEO election to take place in near future.

Antalyaspor CEO Ali Safak Ozturk has called for CEO election which has also been seen as big surprise in similar manner as was resignation of Karabukspor CEO Feridun Tankut last week. The fact Ali Safak Ozturk has announced election with tears in his eyes brings more surprise.

Stating that, even through there were not only reports that number of people has wanted for Ali Safak Ozturk to resign, the results which were given by team so far during this season does show that situation are not going well and its very behind of its set target, as you all remembered during summer Antalyaspor and our blog has stated several times has been aiming for 4th position at this season. Taking account that it did transfer number of great players which are capable to achieve that during this season, it does show that things are not going well. With resignation of Riza Calimbay and appointment of Adriano as head coach didnt push much forward with result. Therefore, it does look like Ali Safak Ozturk who in fact did look in administrative side to be good CEO seems to take responsibility for poor results and now club would go to election.

The date of CEO election will be announced in upcoming future and it is still unclear if Ozturk would re-run as CEO election candidate or not.

Turkish football should give all focus to the youth academies to build future.

The talks about poor performance of Turkish National Team in this recent period has been mainly been put towards team head coach Mircea Lucescu but it is doubtful is situation seems to be only with him or systematically.

This blog and many football analysts in country has stated that the situation is more deeper with that which could be also seen also with poorer performances at the youth national teams as their had shown similar results. The problem as been stated a lot in recent periods is that football clubs does have big problems with its youth academies which hence affect the fact that number of players doesnt come out as much as everyone has wished for. Therefore, its important to work on with improving this academies from clubs and also possibly more investment given by TFF to solve those issues directly as in otherwise there will not be any solutions at near future unfortunately. Therefore, everyone who is responsible at building strong academy at every team and level should work on those issues, make SWOT analysis and find solutions for this issue.

Hence, everyone should take responsibility and aim to make very strong youth academy with all clubs in Turkey, taking example Altinordu and Germany and build future stars to Turkey.

Oguzhan Ozyakup has signed extension contract without having any agreements about it. 

It became clear that Besiktas player Oguzhan Ozyakup according to some reports has signed an extension contract with his club even through there is no set data when that extension would end.

This action doesnt take place a lot in footballing world and does show how much Oguzhan Ozyakup wants to stay at the team and is willing to go to this kind of risks regardless into the deal. In same time, since player is very happy at the team and is continuing to play an important role for success of the team this decision by him should not see as big surprise and to some extend could be even stated that was expected by him. That doesnt mean that clubs around Europe will not show strong interest and try to transfer him since their is no official extension contract announced but it would be very difficult case for him unless there would be offer which Besiktas will recieve and will not be able to refuse, and their might get it with Ozyakup performance at Champions League.

But this move mainly shows how much Ozyakup doesnt want to leave team during this winter transfer window or near future.
