What happened in Turkish football today? 26/06/2021



 Cuneyt Cakir will referee Croatia and Spain game

.As would been expected, Turkish referee Cuneyt Cakir continues his work at Euro 2020 as he has been appointed to tough and important game of last 16 between Croatia and Spain and this being game which is expected to be played at high tempo with both sides focussing into win.

As it been case at Euro 2016, Cuneyt Cakir without doubt did provide much better performance compare to national team side without making too much mistakes in previous two games and since noone talked about him only proves how successful he did perform during this tournament and could be continuing getting some games in upcoming games. It needs to be noted that even through both Croatia and Spain, both sides didnt provide specifically very good performance at group stage and hence both sides would be focussing into getting to next stage in such game which would affect to character of the game and hence Cuneyt Cakir would be needed to focus as both sides would provide strong fighting spirit. Stating that Cuneyt Cakir does have strong experience and hence he would be able to show good game.

It would be tough game for Cuneyt Cakir and he would needed to provide full focus for 90 minutes or even more as it would game with both sides giving their best but he would be able to show nice performance.

TFF likely to stay as head coach of national team side.

It became clear that TFF has intentions to be working with Senol Gunes as Turkish National Team head coach and would give him strong support for World Cup qualifiers as federation did have two options.

It needs to be noted that Senol Gunes despite of poor performance at Euro 2020 without doubt, has been name which did bring side into this tournament and also very good start of World Cup 2022 qualifiers so sacking him would be tough and unfair decision but this tournament did show that everyone who has been involved needs to return from mistakes which been made during this competition with Senol Gunes. Therefore, if TFF would decide to keep him for World Cup which it looks to be doing, Gunes and TFF also would need to go through why it had such poor results both on the field and also outside of the field as why players didnt provide strong performance which includes pre-Euro 2020 preparation so it could have much better outcome at World Cup 2022 if it manages to get through.

It does look like Senol Gunes would stay as coach but he needs to recognise and find solution for issues at Euro2020 poor game.

Ali Koc has been reelected as Fenerbahce CEO.

Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc has been reelected at CEO election where he did run as single candidate and hence in overall club seems to be continuing giving him support but as he would start new reign, he needs to get results.

Fenerbahce did provide so far very dissapointing performance in the league without getting any titles, and even through it could be argued that there were some improvement signs by each season it still not been enough to get even close for expectation even during previous season. Therefore, Fenerbahce CEO Ali Koc when starting his new reign in the club does need to aware of mistakes he made in previous season which includes direct connection with his team which includes  finally finding strong and long-term coach and also making right transfers in similar manner which it did get with likes like Atilla Szalai similarly. There is still high majority support given to Ali Koc but he would lose it if he makes similar mistakes in upcoming years.

Ali Koc is staying at the club for upcoming 3-years but he would need to respond to mistakes which he made in previous 3 years.
