What happened in Turkish football today? 30/05/2018


Trabzonspor has appointed Unal Karaman as club's head coach.

Trabzonspor has appointed coach Unal Karaman as club's new coach in pretty unexpected manner as their were rumours that club is having negotiations with different coaches which included Tamer Tuna who has signed with Sivasspor today.

Unal Karaman as would been remembered has been coach of relegated Karabukspor and it was expected that he would stay at the team for next season also and would be working to build team during this summer period. However, it suddenly became announced that Unal Karaman has made an agreement with Trabzonspor with official signing ceremony been done today. It needs to be stated that Unal Karaman are among most legendary players at the team who has spend his almost whole playing career at the team and also took place at different places at the club after career. Having big respect at the club he would be able to turn this into good results and also focussing into reducing value of players looking for quality young players around Turkey. Again, as he had come to Karabukspor when team was in poor condition and also been arleady relegated it would be unfair to criticise him a lot for not winning any games since he has joined them.

Without doubt this has been biggest change of team since Trabzonspor CEO Ahmet Agaoglu has been appointed and he would work that would work for team to become stronger for next season.

Goztepe didnt extend contract with its player Sabri Sarioglu, Selcuk Sahin and Gunay Guvenc.

Goztepe didnt extended contract with its key players Sabri Sarioglu, Selcuk Sahin and Gunay Guvenc which has been seen as surprising development as all 3 players has played an important role during past season.

In fact it was arleady seen surprise that it didnt make an agreement with Tamer Tuna and also this news does raise some questions as team seems to get rid of its main reasons of such good performance during last season. This does show that possibly team has some financial problems and/or has some changes planned for upcoming season which it believes would be done for good for the team. In normal circumstances, without doubt we do observe that team aims to keep its squad of key players after good season, and Goztepe without doubt has fulfilled its expectation during past season. To some extend and to all respect it would be seen that Sabri Sarioglu and Selcuk Sahin could be taken away due of age and doesnt fit team aim to get younger for next season but Gunay Guvenc decision could be seen specifically surprising as he could move team forward and being great alternative for Beto.

Again, there could be some revision done at team for next season which could become clear during summer transfer window as this big changes are unclear for now at the team.

Kaan Ayhan has extended contract with Fortuna Dusseldorf until 2021.

Fortuna Dusseldorf player Kaan Ayhan has extended contract with his team for another 3 years and without doubt would be aiming to carry on his performance at Bundesliga for next season after playing an important role for team to be promoted.

As it is known, Fortuna Dusseldorf has ended 2nd Bundesliga as leaders and Kaan Ayhan has played an important role for this sucess at the club and hence it could be seen natural for this extension. Kaan Ayhan did also state beforehand that he is happy to be at German side and hence it would been accepted that player has made a deal as soon as offer was provided to him as he would be felt at comfortable team where he is able to provide good performance. Of course, next season with team to be promoted to higher level it would become tougher season for team and also for Kaan Ayhan but being national team player it would be accepted that he would fulfill those expectations. Therefore, this should be seen as good opportunity for Kaan Ayhan to carry on good performance against top German clubs.

Kaan Ayhan as stated has been among most key players at Fortuna Dusseldorf past season and hence team want to keep him is not surprising at all.
