Any results other than win, will cost Turkey and Terim's boys!..

Injury full Turkish National team will have tough time against Young Bosnia-Herzegovina team.

In the Group 5, Groups first place team Spain will play against pointless Estonia .

The next three teams Turkey,Belgium and Bosnia-Herzegovina in the group will fight for the second place in the Group.

While Turkey and Belgium each have 4 points , Bosnia-Herzegovina is on the neck of both teams with 3 points.

That is why this match is very important for Turkey!..

On the other hand Belgium, will play another pointless team Armenia.

Belgium will play against Spain on Wednesday while Turkish National team will have easy test against Estonia on Wednesday...

A win in Istanbul on Saturday will make things much easier going in to New Year!,,,,

Fatih Terim's Boys has to have flawless match against Bosnia-Herzegovina , if they want to stay on this race.

Like Turkish Soccer teams in Turkcell Super League , Turkish National Team is not consistent with their afford...

Different line-up, in every match, show, that Fatih Terim has woes about injuries and his own selection!...

Saturday in Istanbul, Fatih Terim has to be cool calm from side line, because, Fifa will be watching him very closely after that incident against Belgium coach.

A win, will not be easy.... but, Turkey must beat Bosnia-Herzegovina, to stay in this race!...

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH BESIKTAS?...


Mustafa Denizli, YIldirim Demiroren and Tayfun Havutcu.......

So, Mustafa Denizli will be the next coach for Besiktas!.....

Does this news stops all the negative things in Besiktas team?....

I don't think so.....

The problem with Besiktas is The current president of the team and his cronies!..

Mustaf Denizli will not save Yildirim Demiroren as a President of Besiktas.


A lot of Besiktas Fans are fed up with his administrations....

Chaos, gets worst in Besiktas team....

Consistency and confidence is not in Yildirim Demiroren's book!...

A two days go, after Ertugrul Saglam resigned, Sinan Engin also resigned too..
at the time Yildirim Demiroren and his cronies, refused Sinan's resignation!...

After, Mustafa Denizli signed with Besiktas Today, Sinan Engin was sacked!...

They told him he does not have a job with Besiktas team...

Because, there will not be General Manager position in the Besiktas team under Mustafa Denizli!....


As far as Denizli's Assistants, Sergen Yalcin was no go! ....

He was told by TFF, that he is not ready to coach yet in the Turkcell Super League!...

So, Tayfun Havutcu former Besiktas captain will be his assistant!....



What is so strange to me is,

Yildirim Demiroren, said "coaches like Samet Aybaba and Mustafa Denizli will not coach and walk front of the Besiktas Club as long as I am president of this club"

After Lucescu's rejection coaching Besiktas, Demiroren was cornered once again!..

He had no choice!... He made a another u-turn again....

I hope this u-turn will be for good!.....

I think , this is last last stop for Yildirim Demiroren......

Another person who made u- turn, was, Mustafa Denizli!........

He told Turkish media earlier in the season, that, "I will not take a team, in the middle of the season in the Turkcell Super League"

What happened?!.................

The man who coached in the Turkcell Super League back in 2004, after four years, coming back to the league with eating his own words!....


Confuse Besiktas team and undecided Mustafa Denizli showed his first mistake, when he named former Besiktas Player as his assistant!....

Lack of professionalism and not doing his home work before announce Sergen;s name was huge error on behalf of Mustafa Denizli and Besiktas Team...

The marriage already started with a big error in my opinion...

Finally, Ertugrul Saglam had to go. but, timing was wrong!.......

Ali Gultekin ,former General Manager and former player of Besiktas ,could it been better choice for Mustafa Denizli, in my opinion!.....


AHMET TURGUT








MUSTAFA DENIZLI WILL BE THE NEW COACH FOR BESIKTAS!....

MUSTAFA DENIZLI WILL BE THE NEW COACH FOR BESIKTAS!....

He will be the first Turkish coach to coach the "Big Three" clubs in Turkey.
SERGEN YALCIN WILL BE HIS ASSISTANT IN BESIKTAS!.
Mustafa Denizli and Besiktas will make it official at 17:00 Turkey local time(10:00 ET), on Thursday.

"Life goes on" these words said by Ertugrul Saglam, after the another disaster defeat in the European competition against Ukrainian team Metalist Kharkiv.

well, life will go on for him, not as the coach of Besiktas anymore!.....

On Tuesday, He resigned from the post after winning the League match against Hacettepespor.

The hammer came on Ertugrul Saglam, because of poor results in the European competition

Two unsuccessful season in the European competition under Saglam's belt, cost him the job.

In The Press conference Ertugrul saglam said , "The 4-1 loss to Metalist in the UEFA Cup deeply saddened us. I apologize for this to all Besiktas fans and the Turkish nation.

Also, General Manager of the Besiktas team, Sinan Engin, resigned too.

MORE INJURIES WORRIES FATIH TERIM!....
