What happened in Turkish football today? 25/10/2022



Besiktas expects to sack Valerien Ismael at short period of time.

Besiktas had another league game with providing very poor and unsatisfactorily performance during 2nd half as it lost to struggling to Hatayspor with 2:1 scoreline despite scoring goal on 34th second.

Following this result, discussion about sacking Valerien Ismael has become even more effective as such performance from the team has been taken place in recent weeks and games has been played at same scenario. This scenario has been for Besiktas starting game in very good form showing dominant game but 2nd half of the game has been going down mainly due of some wrong substitutes and wrong tactical game. Exactly same has taken place at the game against Hatayspor. Even through this blog believes that some patience and chances should be given to coaches, it also clearly visible that Valerien Ismael is not showing any improvement and signs of chances and him staying seem to do more harm to club performance run unfortunately.

It is expected for administration to sack Ismael at short period of time as he doesnt provide much hope for future.

Istanbulspor appoints Fatih Tekke for 5-years.

Istanbulspor has appointed Fatih Tekke for 5-years after next day Osman Zeki Korkmaz has resigned from his post.

With club making deal with Tekke at such short period of time would be seen that Istanbulspor were getting ready for Korkmaz to be leaving side and has signed Tekke for 5-years which also shows full trust and support towards him. With Fatih Tekke having great footballing career but still being on early stages of coaching and not having much experience at Super League would raise question how he would be able to raise team up in such difficult league. Therefore, to some extend this is being pretty unclear decision and hard to predict but it does look like Istanbulspor has strong trust and Fatih Tekke believing on his strength with accepting such long term.

Time would show how would Tekke raise team performance as it does need to get points as much as it can in upcoming games.

UEFA appoints Ali Palabiyik to Conference League game.

UEFA has appointed Turkish referee Ali Palabiyik to Conference League between Zurich and Zalgiris which could be seen as big surprise following events which happened at Galatasaray and Alanyaspor.

There could be an argument that this is being game at least interesting league among UEFA jurisdiction and also game itself is not being important one, but it needs to be metnioned that only 2 other referees has been appointed, with one of them being AVAR. Hence, this appointment makes it clear that UEFA does seem something which is not seen at Turkish football and especially Galatasaray. Meanwhile, this could be good opportunity for Ali Palabiyik to provide good refereeing at this game and reduce criticism towards him possibly.

In fact, good refereeing for Palabiyik could provide him motivational and confidence boost which been reduced likely from so much criticism during last weekend.
