What happened in Turkish football today? 15/12/2021



Galatasaray continues providing pressure to TFF.

Galatasaray CEO Burak Elmas has once again made statements with criticising referee decisions which took place in recent weeks to them and at Super League other games generally.

Criticism towards referee performance during this season seems to be ongoing issue as all clubs continue to criticise both referee decisions and systematic issue which are present with TFF and Central Referee Committee. Therefore, this criticisms which been mentioned by Burak Elmas have been without doubt on-going issues at the Turkish football. In addition, Burak Elmas has once again called for TFF current administration to which TFF CEO Nihat Ozdemir early provided some discomfort for such statements but it does look like Elmas focusses into continuing providing such pressure to this administration and it would be interesting to see how TFF would respond.

Issues between both TFF and Galatasaray looks to be continuing to be taking place and it would be interesting how their would develop.

Kerim Altiay resigns as TFF administrator.

Meanwhile, following statements which been done by Burak Elmas, TFF representative committee member Kerim Altiay has resigned from his post.

Even through its not known if this resignation is due of statements from Burak Elmas, the timing does rise some questions if there is in fact issues at the TFF in recent period of time and if this resignation has direct impact from Burak Elmas and if some other resignation would be taking place in upcoming days. Without doubt, it would be helpful if TFF would announce reason for this resignation in short period of time. 

Timing as been noted of this resignation is being pretty interesting and it would be followed if there would be similar developments in upcoming days.

Besiktas has made deal with Bruno Pinheiro for 2+1 years

Besiktas are reported to make deal with Estoril head coach Bruno Pinheiro for 2+1 years for 900,000 euro and would be joining side during mid-season transfer period.

Since Pinheiro is having on-going contract with Estoril, Besiktas lawyers are currently working into ways how to terminate contract with suitable deal for both sides as Pinheiro showed green light with working at Besiktas and also waiting for Besiktas to solve contract with his club. Pinheiro is been known to be number one candidate right now as he does suit into  category of being young coach who is hungry for success as he is being 45-year old and does have young technical staff members. Therefore, he is being number one candidate among foreign coach candidates.

Meanwhile, it is reported that current caretaker coach Onder Karaveli who would be taking this role until mid-season break would be at technical staff team too.
