What happened in Turkish football today? 22/06/2018


Fenerbahce has appointed Phillip Cocu for 3 years.

Fenerbahce has announced its appointment of PSV Eindhoven head coach Phillip Cocu as club's head coach for 3 years with Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc stating that he was chosen due of positive factors he has shown at PSV.

Since club has ended contract with its coach Aykut Kocaman, it was clear that announcement of Cocu as club's new head coach was matter of a days and with PSV being 1st one to announce that he would be leaving club surprising firstly in Turkish twit it posted. Even through it does seem to be good choice for Fenerbahce of such appointment, it is worrying that Cocu has only coaches at PSV and taking account that its less tough league compare to Super League both from external and internal factors it does provide some worry that he would be having trouble to get adapted to this new league. Therefore, it is clear that he would be needing period to get used both to his new team and environment and hence should recieve some patience when new season would be starting. Still, Phillip Cocu has some factors at his coaching level which would be suitable for Fenerbahce demands as long as Fenerbahce would describe him main aims of the team for next season.

With Phillip Cocu becoming 3rd Dutch coach at the Fenerbahce with previous two being pretty unsuccessful, he would be aiming to end this negative statistics in his reign.

Akhisarspor has transferred Guray Vural for 3 years.

Kayserispor player Guray Vural has returned to Akhisarspor after few years absences as he has signed 3-year contract with his team and would aim to provide high level performance once again with moving team forward both domestically and at Europa League.

It is clear that Akhisarspor are among clubs who would be focussing into mainly Turkish transfers aiming to make competitive side at both domestically and at Europe. Guray Vural are among main experienced players at this league and could be among strongest options among Turkish players and hence would be able for team to move forward and improve last season performance at the Super League. With transfer window being pretty quiet so far, Akhisarspor has made one of the 1st and probably main transfers during this summer and does show signs that it aims to build strong sides from its capacities for next season. Meanwhile, Guray Vural would be able to show high level performance at the club which does have important aims for next season.

Therefore, this transfer would be able to move forward for next season for Akhisarspor and Guray Vural without doubt as both sides have important aims.

Sivasspor has transferred Ugur Ciftci for 5 years

Another club which has made transfer today is Sivasspor transfer of Genclerbirligi player Ugur Ciftci for 5 years and with such high transfer does show that it has all of the trust towards player.

Even through Genclerbirligi has been relegated from Super League last season, Ciftci has been among key players at the team for recent years and Sivasspor does show that it is aware with such long transfer which in current football doesnt happen much in Turkish league. Still, coming from team which has mainly from staying at the league he is joining team which has higher aims and hence needs to get adapted mentally for that but with being player who aims to improve it would be good opportunity for him. This could be one of the longest contract in duration during this summer transfer window in Turkey and time would show if it was smart move for them. Stating that he is being at Super League sides for many years and will not have period of adaptation with taking account that he has spend most amount of his career at this mediocre sides.

Sivasspor does show good work for next season and does provide image of making their side stronger for next season for sure.
