UEFA would decide host country of Euro 2024 on 27th September.
Host country of the Euro2024 would be announced tomorrow at Swiss city of Nice where there is two candidates fighting to get rights which are Turkey and Germany. It needless to state that Turkish delegacy is taking this selection very seriously.
The mood in Turkish society and media is that time has come for Turkey to host European Champions on 2024 and despite of Germany being football nation and have strong facilities, it believes that it can win this bid. During recent years, Turkish Football Federation and Turkish government has been working on creating new stadiums around country and are reported to be in better and modern position compare to Germany. Another strong factor, is that Turkish public in general wants for this tournament to take place in Turkey and have shown this support by fans in different occassions. Only problem which Turkey can find, but very significant is political situation in the country as many around Europe does see Turkey not being very democratic nation and this prejudice could affect to choosing host country during selection process. Meanwhile, it needs to be noted that Turkish government with leadership of Recep Tayyip Erdogan believes that it can get this right this time.
Decision would be made on 27th September and Turkey with Germany and also whole world would be waiting to find out where European Championship with take place on 2024.
Erzurumspor has sacked its head coach Mehmet Altiparmak.
Erzurumspor has sacked its head coach Mehmet Altiparmak after 6th week as team didnt manage to win any game so far during this season at Super League and are located at the last place of the table.
Erzurumspor among other promoted sides has started season with high aim taking account that their had been promoted at each stage by each season and did have lots of optimism at the side. Taking account that team does provide some positive performance it is having trouble to win games and in some times to provide winning touch as it occassionally did play by winning game including against Besiktas. But with Erzurumspor only getting 2 points and not fullfilling its expectation club had no other option than to end contract with Mehmet Altiparmak hence becoming 3rd team to terminate contract with its head coach this season. It does need to be stated that Erzurumspor squad is in good condition and have some good players especially from Africa who are capable to move team from relegation zone even through being at top half of table is not that simple. Therefore, new coach who would be appointed would have some factors to push himself forward when he joins team.
It is reported that Mehmet Ozdilek is main candidate for new post as Erzurumspor coach and is expected to be announced at short period of time.
Fenerbahce has improved against Besiktas but its still not enough.
Future of the Fenerbahce head coach Phillip Cocu continues to be main talking point at the team and following Besiktas game some football fans are pushing adminsitration to appoint Ersun Yanal as club's new head coach.
It needs to be stated that Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc still states that their must be patience given towards Phillip Cocu as statistically and his experience at PSV Eindhoven is still similar and he has managed after 1st season to bring 3 league titles to the team. Even through Fenerbahce didnt provide great performance against Besiktas at overall, there was still some good improvement with game especially during 1st half and has given signs that team is going into right direction and could be improved. Ali Koc did state clearly that untill unusual circumstances he would not end contract with Phillip Cocu until mid-season and hence everyone should accept him to stay. Phillip Cocu did show some improvement against Besiktas and slowly gets into ideal starting 11 squad which should provide improvement at game. Another factor, that despite of worst start of season in 10 years time he is still 7 points behind leaders and does have opportunity to catch up to leadership race.
Fenerbahce does need time as it had changed many things at team but it did lose lots of points so its need to find solutions as soon as possible.
