What happened in Turkish football today? 20/12/2017


Galatasaray CEO Dursun Ozbek can lose an early election even if he calls it to secure his reign.

Today's blog would mainly as would be expected focussed towards situation which Galatasaray is at right now with starting hottest topic at the club regarding of upcoming CEO election.

Even through calling an early election by CEO Dursun Ozbek could be seen as an aim to prove that things are not great at the team and provide signs that he is open for a change it is also important to read this move as actually attempt to make his reign at the position even much more stronger. During press conference provided yesterday by Dursun Ozbek does state that it also an attempt to fill the space which was left by fellow resigns which happened at the administration in recent months.
Among the signs that the aim was to make his reign even more stronger could be seen also for election coming for shorter period as it is short time for CEO candidates to make their decision and build strong administration team and programme against Dursun Ozbek. Still Ozbek did recieve some big negative views with his management of club in latest period and with opposition coming out strong their might even defeat him in suprise and unexpected manner .

It is clear that pre-election period would be very hot and ongoing especially underlying that after 1 week there would be midseason break following Turkish Cup last 16 1st leg games the main focus would be towards aiming to gain points from administrators prior to election and hence we would see a huge campaign.

Media and fans decide to sack Tudor and appoint Terim, not administration.

One of the most talking points right at the Galatasaray is who would be new head coach or even more precisely would club's legendary coach Fatih Terim return to the team or not. For now, Galatasaray has been ruled mainly by fans and media so would their get what their want.

It is known for long time that media plays an important role at the clubs which could lead to resignation and appointments of coaches and CEO's. It is no secret that ongoing criticism towards Igor Tudor by media even when it was leading table at the standings quite comfortably and are still 1 point behind league leaders, something by the media didnt like him. Even through for long time Dursun Ozbek made it clear that he would be supporting Igor Tudor in this position following loss to Yeni Malatyaspor with 2:1 scoreline has become catalyst without doubt. Right now the main focus if Fatih Terim as their is strong division at the team if he should be returning to team or not while media and fans show strong support for Fatih Terim. There are even rumours that Dursun Ozbek is calling election to build team around team who would like to see Terim. However, it seems to be unlikely that Fatih Terim would like to even want to come due of other aims in his career and also due of unstable situation at the club.

Now, if Igor Tudor was sacked to bring Fatih Terim without making deal with him than team would be in big issue and might have some difficulty at finding replacement for head coach role especially from outside Turkey.

Seleznyov announces that he would be leaving Karabukspor. 

Karabukspor player Yevgeniy Seleznyov at his Instagram account has announced that he would be leaving his team during mid-season transfer window stating he was happy to play at this club.

Without doubt, especially last season, Yevheniy Seleznyov has played an important and key role with his performance as with quality he has become one of the key players. However, with the team is at both financially and performance, as it does look like their would be relegated, unless some external changes happen at team it is quite naturally for him to leave team. Being foreigner and still looking to end his career, as he gets older, in more stable condition it could be understood and should not be criticised much. Karabukspor without doubt has had one of the strongest players which it could have gained in recent years and certainly his teammates has been learned lots of him so likely he did his duty well enough.

Seleznyov as stated has managed to become one of the best players of the team but as stated he wasnt enough to get off team from mess which it is at this season as their are many external issues also at team.
