What happened in Turkish football today? 26/12/2023


 

Besiktas ends calendar year with good win against Hatayspor.

Besiktas has ended 2023, which had lot of downs for them, with a confident and good win against Hatayspor with caretaker coach and normally under-19 coach Sercan Topraktepe as side did provide confident performance.

It needs to be mentioned that with Besiktas going through 3 coaches changes, all the time team did start with a good win which does show that players could be extra motivated in such condition and certainly it would not be needed to read too much this win. Stating that, Besiktas did manage to win for 3 weeks and hence this also being last game before 2024, it could be providing good motivation and confidence for 2nd half of the season. Besiktas are expected to appoint new coach in upcoming 10 days and new coach would get hence problematic but at least bit motivated team.

Besiktas still has some issues which it would need to solve in upcoming period with priority being new coach and transfers.

Hatayspor doesnt consider to end contract with Volkan Demirel.

Hatayspor has announced that it doesnt consider to end contract with its head coach Volkan Demirel who made speech following Besiktas game which sounded like a farewell.

Even through Volkan Demirel post-game talk did sound like resignation, it would need to be stated that it was his reaction for his game as side even through not showing good performance as it did in start of the season, it is still doing good job.With Volkan Demirel knowing difficulties as it is being team which been affected from earthquake on 6th February it is playing without doubt in difficult conditions and hence there are many things which even Volkan Demirel might have issues of solving. Therefore, this farewell talks could be more related into emotionality of not very effective game.

Hatayspor has done right job for providing such support to Volkan Demirel who did so much for this club without doubt since earthquake took place in city.

Trabzonspor are interested to sign Besiktas player Eric Bailly

It is reported that Trazbonspor are showing some strong interest towards Besiktas player Eric Bailly during mid-season transfer window,

With Eric Bailly being among players who were taking out of squad by new administration, Trabzonspor are trying to use such transfer opportunity to its advantage. It needs to be mentioned that Bailly even through didnt provide much memorable performance, he didnt recieve lots of playing time and also general issues at the field has affected negative to him. In fact, Eric Bailly tactical performance could be more suitable for Trabzonspor style of play and hence move to team could be win-win situation for both club.

It does look like this transfer rumour would be among discussed in mid-season transfer period and we would follow all developments at our accounts.
