What happened in Turkish football today? 12/10/2023



Vincenzo Montella had an important impact towards Turkey which had possitive impact in Croatia game

Turkish National Team head coach Vincenzo Montella starts his journey with his new post with beating Croatia in Osijek thanks to the Baris Alper and probably most important has shown strong and confident performance.

Even through Vincenzo Montella appointment to national team has been seen as good development and that it would be expected to provide better game, it was expected by even most optimistic supporters that Turkey would get maximum draw. However, Turkey has shown much better performance which has been expected from them with not winning game but also has provided a strong attacking and defensive game not allowing for Croatia for most amount of the game to get control game and showing an attacking game. It has been seen from start of the game that Turkey didnt only aim to win game but also showing an attacking positive game as goal could be coming as early as on 2nd minute it has almost found an opening goal. In fact, it needs to be stated that Turkey could have scored even more but an outstanding performance of Dominik Livakovic but did found a winning goal from Baris Alper and most important team has been focussed into gameand has shown controllable and organising game. 

Croatia did have some absences in attack and also didnt provide its best performance and has been pretty far from games it has shown during World Cup 2022 but despite of that it needs to be stated that Turkey has also prevented Croatia to get used.

Without doubt Vincenzo Montella did have an important iimpact towards team as Turkey has shown confident and attacking game without showing any signs of being scared from Croatia.

Trabzonspor has appointed Abdullah Avci once again.

Trabzonspor once again appointed  Abdullah Avci to head coach position after unsuccessful period it had went through with Nenad Bjelica as Avci would likely aiming to bring strong defensive side into field but once again aiming to show strong attacking game.

Abdullah Avci as would been remembered had left team following resignation of previous CEO Ahmet Agaoglu as he wanted to open door for new CEO and as team did seek for new coach it did make fast agreement with Nenad Bjelica. An issue for Bjelica has not been his quality as coach, as he is good coach, but not being able to get adapted both to the team and to the league which let for unstable performance. With Trabzonspor chances for title are being low, despite of it being early part of the season, Avci would be focussing to be creating side which would be showing strong and positive performance on the field with organising game and he would have more than week to achieve that during this national team break.

Avci is returning to the team where he brought historical title and he would be aiming to repeat that outcome once again.

Besiktas added Yukac and Modric to technical staff

Besiktas has announced that it has appointed Hari Yukac as club's assistant coach and Toni Modric at athletic trainer as it did provide some more strength towards Besiktas caretaker coach Burak Yilmaz and filled places which were left after Senol Gunes resignation.

Hari Yukac has been working with Igor Tudor during his stay at Galatasaray and  hence is being familiar with Turkish football and also adapted to the league and hence this addition would not have much issues for adapting to expectation towards league generally and Besiktas and would allow Burak Yilmaz he would be coaching team at least for 2 months to be assisting team towards successful performance.

Time would show if this measures would have positive impact towards team unstable and mainly poor performance this season.
