What happened in Turkish football today? 24/02/2021


 

Kayserispor has appointed Ugur Kulaksiz and Alper Kelkitli as head coaches.

Kayserispor has appointed its academy coaches Ugur Kulaksiz and Alper Kelkitli as club's head coaching role, after terminating with mutual agreement with Dan Petrescu on 23rd February, as both coaches would aim to keep side at top league.

Even through it is hard to state that Dan Petrescu did have good spell at his club, it was still seen as surprising decision as he only be appointed during last month and did slowly provide some signs of improvement in recent weeks but with side being close to relegation zone it is possible Petrescu did fell under too pressure. With him leaving side did decide to provide opportunity to academy coaches which been mainly decided due of not being able to find good replacement in such period and also for them to be familiar with this side. Even through familiarity is being advantage, there is lack of experience to coach top league side which currently fights to stay in the league so both Kulaksiz and Kelkitli would have difficult period in season which comes to end.

In here of course crucial role would be played by administration which would be needing to provide support to coaches in this period. 

Galatasaray will use transfer option of Muhammed until end of the season.

Galatasaray administrator Abdurrahim Albayrak has stated that club would be using 4 million euro purchase option of its currently loaned player Mustafa Muhammed until end of the season.

Without doubt, one of the most successful transfers during this mid-season transfer from all clubs so far when looking at their performance, has been Mustafa Muhammed who among scoring goals generally does provide strong fighting spirit in the front with using advantage of his strong physique which plays crucial role with providing help and to some extend did provide slight plus during its title race. Therefore, with such performance its normal for Galatasaray adminsitration and supporters wishing and hoping that purchase option would be used as he would get some eyes from across Europe in summer. Hence, it is not surprising that Galatasaray would focus to use this option despite of 1.5 year loan deal.

With Mustafa Muhammed also being happy in his current side it would be expected that he would also give all signs of willingness to stay at the club.

Yeni Malatyaspor interested to appoint Alex de Souza as head coach

One of the most surprising news which did come out from today has been rumour that Yeni Malatyaspor with Alex de Souza, which later on day been approved by CEO Adem Gevrek.

With Yeni Malatyaspor terminating contract with Hamza Hamzaoglu, club is currently is looking for replacement which Gevrek states it would be focussing into successful and young coaches which it also includes Alex de Souza and plans to provide him offer which it would be hoping would be accepted. Stating that, he is not being only candidate but are also showing some interest with Tamer Tuna and Yalcin Kosukuvak which also suits for such category. It needs to be noted that Souza is not known a lot with his coaching skills but did work into getting licence and possibly this could be good opportunity for him to start in Turkey, even through it is reported he did decline this offer.

Yeni Malatyaspor does show interested with Souza and if achieves would bring name which would be actively discuss as he plays big role at Fenerbahce and whole league history.
