What happened in Turkish football today? 06/03/2024



Fenerbahce would aim to get good result against Royale Union.

Fenerbahce are going to return to Conference League journey with last 16 1st leg game against Belgian leaders Royale Union at the game which is expected to be pretty tough but Fenerbahce does have quality on their side.

Royale Union until now has been one of the most surprising sides especially when looking domestically as it is being leaders in pretty surprising manner and does have winning run. However, it needs to be mentioned that Fenerbahce even through does have decline of performance at the field, does also come with an impressive winning performance and does have some quality players. It needs to be stated that some pressure has been given to club as Belgian side has been difficult opponent but as long Fenerbahce does show respect to opponent and stayed focussed it would be able to get some good results. Other issue is to provide good defensive game as Royale Union tend to play tempo game.

Fenerbahce are being favourites in this tie but it would be expected difficult games especially 1st away leg game.

Gaziantep has terminated contract with Marius Sumudica.

Gaziantep has terminated contract with its head coach Marius Sumudica due of poor results in recent weeks as he wasnt able to fulfill his expectation and potentiality at the team.

When Marius Sumudica did join team, there was expectations that his familiarity with Super League would provide some advantage with side performance but apart of some good games in beginning of his reign team has been showing decline by each week and did find themselves at the bottom of the table and hence administration has decided to end contract with Sumudica until its too late and now is being looking for new coach with Hamza Hamzaoglu being one candidates.

Sumudica has been appointed with lots of expectations but he didnt manage to fulfill them and understandably has ended contract with him.

Sergio Oliviera has been taken out of squad.

Galatasaray administrator Erden Timur has announced that team player Sergio Oliviera has been taken out of squad and some further actions would be taken due of player showing disresctful action to head coach Okan Buruk.

Sergio Oliviera has been reported to show some disrespectful reactions towards head coach Okan Buruk following relegation from Turkish Cup and hence it was rightfully decided to take him away from squad as whatever circumstances players would need to show respectful to coaches. It is expected for team now to provide some fine towards players and also possibly look for ways to terminate contract as it doesnt consider to use him much for upcoming games.

Sergio Oliviera actions could cost him career at Galatasaray and actions from club could provide lessons to other players to be careful with they actions.
