What happened in Turkish football today? 14/03/2023



Basaksehirspor would need to show effective game if it wants to get to quarter-finals.

Basaksehirspor would be aiming to use its home ground advantage during Conference League last 16 game against Gent after 1:1 draw in Belgium at the game which been played at difficult conditions.

As been noted beforehand among Turkish clubs competing in Europe, Basaksehirspor has got best opponent in this stage both when looking into opponent, to all respect towards Belgian side and also scoreline which it got. It needs to be mentioned as been stated beforehand that Basaksehirspor are being on decline as it didnt get much results during recent weeks which includes loss to Besiktas at the league despite of being side which did show stronger and more positive game.Basaksehirspor did show very good performance in the start of the season and it would need to show without doubt similar performance if it wants to get into quarter-final of the tournament or otherwise Gent would be seeking to use its chances which it would get during game.

Basaksehirspor does look to be favourite to get through but it would be tough game without doubt and side would need full concentration.

Antalyaspor has changed its CEO after Aziz Cetin resignation.

Sabri Gurel has been elected as new Antalyaspor CEO following Aziz Cetin resignation as he stated that he wanted to give an open to new names in the administration stating that this position needs to be changed after while.

Even through Antalyaspor are struggling during this season, it needs to be mentioned that in overall Aziz Cetin did show good performance during his reign with making some important transfers and also providing strong and confident performance in past season with coach Nuri Sahin providing some good results even through it needs to be mentioned that it didnt continue such performance and hence there is possibility that he did recieve some internal criticism within club which did lead him for such decision. Meanwhile, Sabri Gurel is being name within club administration team, being his assistant and hence is being familiar with club issues and would be looking for solutions.

Hence, there is change of administration team at the team and possibly this change might provide some solutions which teams during this season.

Erdogan Dogan considers to sign again Abdullah Avci as head coach.

There are rumours that Trabzonspor CEO candidate Erdogan Dogan who is also currently taking caretaking role at the club to once again appoint Abdullah Avci as club head coach.

Abdullah Avci did leave club officially as giving some opportunities but this could be also due of factor that he was considering to leave team for poor results as he failed to find solutions. Despite of such poor results during this season, administration which included Erdogan Dogan were happy with performance and did show him lots of support, and hence if this rumour is true it shouldnt be big surprise. Also difficulty of finding an available good coach at this stage of thsi season, could push side to make new deal with Avci.

It does look Trabzonspor would have lots of development in upcoming period and we would follow it in our accounts.
