What happened in Turkish football today? 21/11/2022



National team training camp has been successful for sure.

Turkish National Team had a successful training camp and international friendly period as it has managed to 2:1 scoreline both against Scotland and Czech Republic and get young players to get adapted to the team.

Main aims of this training camp has been for side to make some preparation for Euro2024qualifiers, provide some experience and adaptation to young players like Arda Guler and also get through pressure which it did get from unwanted results in last 2 games of Nations League. It needs to be mentioned that Turkey hence did show some good performance and has shown signs that it took those friendlies very seriously in fact more serious than opponents which led them to get wins in both games. This is also showed to Stefan Kuntz that team can show good performance with 4-3-3 formation in the field.

Hence, it could be stated confidently that those 2 games has provided good experience and outcome in this period and provided some important lessons and raised confidence to whole side.

Kasimpasa are close to make deal with Selcuk Inan for head coach role.

Ex-Galatasaray assistant coach Selcuk Inan who also has shown some strong performance as player in same team is reported to be close to make coaching deal with Kasimpasa as it would be first test as head coach.

Selcuk Inan even through has been assistant with Fatih Terim has got some important coaching lessons from him and also did play some important role at Galatasaray with its been known that Terim and him did work well. Hence, even through there is not much experience, Inan is familiar with coaching career and how to manage it and hence this would be advantage for him. Also, there would not be much pressure from outside towards Inan during his period at Kasimpasa which would also provide him some easiness and could focus into getting some good results as long as club would also provide patience towards him.

If Inan would be able to convert those into experiences with being next man to Terim into head coaching he could show some good performance at Kasimpasa as long as club would also provide patience.

TFF would control players limit and financial issues as clubs fail to do so.

Turkish Football Federation CEO Mehmet Buyukeksi has made statement that he would be giving extra focus into teams working on improving budget and working on academy which would bring some players into national team from young age.

Buyukeksi in our view has made right statement that if there is no regularity then teams would not do this factors themselves stating that if there would not be players limit, most clubs would sign 15-20 foreign players. He also announced that there TFF would provide central solar energy heating which would provide important factor to protect environment and also improving financial situation of the clubs as many money goes out from electricity factors. With clubs especially complaing into foreign players limit it could be interesting to see how clubs would react to this statement if they decide do.

This are issues which Turkish clubs seem to be having issues on working on and it would be important hence for them to be controlled by TFF without doubt.'
