What happened in Turkish football today? 16/10/2023



 Latvia again provided some issues to Turkey but in the end of the day it got Euro2024 in confident manner.

Turkish National Team has got a crucial win against Latvia with 4:0 scoreline and with such result has got ticket to the Euro 2024 which would be taking place and now would be focussing into ending campaign at top spot as it would meet with Wales next game.

It needs to be stated that Turkey, thanks to the games between 3 national teams, did only come out to the game against Latvia with a focus to win game regardless how Croatia and Wales game would be ending but it was certainly clear as Latvia tends to be most problematic team and despite of scoreline of 4:0, it needs to be stated that until game became 2:0 on 83rd minute, it has been pretty tough game for Turkey especially after 1:0 and until Cenk Tosun scored 2nd goal. Still, Turkey did show strong concentration and organisational game which has been brought by Vincenzo Montella as players show strong togetherness and fighting spirit at the game and it does look team has shown teamwork at the team.

As been noted, we are seeing wrong to not count Stefan Kuntz as mathematically it wouldnt be possible for Turkey to get to Euro without results he got but in same it does look questionable if team did get those 6 points if Kuntz stayed.

Istanbulspor has appointed Hakan Yakin as club's head coach.

Istanbulspor has appointed Hakan Yakin as club's head coach for 2-years as he would be coming with lots of experience on his previous periods and hence would be accepted to help team to stay at the league at least.

Hakan Yakin did get some performance and results both in Switzealand and Russia of his training experience and hence he would be coming to team with strong enough CV for team like and is more capable to turn around team to get some points and get side out of relegation zone as it seems for sure right for him to sort out an attacking issue as team doesnt convert much and would need to find solution of this with limited amount of good attackers to all respect. Still, as been noted Hakan Yakin is being coach which could achieve that.

With good CV as been noted Hakan Yakin has all potentiality to improve performance and get result which it seeks for with Istanbulspor.

Abdullah Avci will recieve salary of 40 million TL

Trabzonspor has announced that its head coach Abdullah Avci would be recieving salary of 40 million TL as it has appointed coach few days ago in place of Nenad Bjelica.

With Abdullah Avci did look to be best candidate both with experience and availability,it is reported that not much discussion has been made regarding of salaries but still Trabzonspor did make his salary as 40 million TL with announcement that it would raise at most 50% for next season due of exchange rate and financial situation in the country. This would likely provide some extra motivation to Avci among working in the team where he brought them historical title.

Abdullah Avci meanwhile has reasons to turn around performance of the team in this period but chances for title are being low despite of early days of the season.

In other news:
- TFF has appointed Taner Senseven as general secretary.
- Trabzonspor player Nicolas Pepe has resumed training sessions after recovering from injury.
- TottenhamHotspur and West Ham United are interested to transfer Galatasaray player Kerem Akturkgolu.
