So,long waited Guus Hiddink, finally made it to Turkey after all hoopla's and rocky road for TFF.
Dutch Guus Hiddink became the new coach for the Turkish national soccer team on Monday.
Hiddink arrived in Istanbul on Monday to sign the official agreement with the Turkish Football(soccer) Federation.
Having previously coached Turkey's Fenerbahce team to negative reviews 20 years ago, Hiddink said what happened with Fenerbahce was not too good, "But much has changed with time. I have a lot more experience in my profession. I have many lessons from my past."
Saying he was happy to be back after 20 years, Hiddink added that the future of Turkish football was promising and "we will have a lot of momentum by the start of practice in September."
Turkish Football Federation President Mahmut Ozgener told reporters that they had wanted a new coach who would bring international success to the Turkish team, adding: "we believe in him. We have completed our restructuring period and now Turkish football is starting a new era."
There were not one Turkish journalist at the press conference asked question to Hiddink, in English .
Lastly, no one asked about Turkish Nationals trip to United states to play U.S Mens National team...
that was kind of absurd too..
So, Hiddink is finallly signed the official papers with TFF..
Now the work began for Hiddink and Turkish National Soccer Team and current Turkish Football Federation officials.

Turkey to face Germany in Euro 2012 qualifiers
Turkey, the losing semifinalist at the Euro 2008, was drawn in Group A against Germany, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan after the draw for the 2012 European Soccer Championship in Poland and Ukraine was held in the Polish capital, Warsaw, on Sunday. The Turks eliminated Austria on the way to reaching the Euro 2008 semis, before losing to 3-2 to Germany, the runner-up to Spain, in the dramatic semifinal.
Turkey has a large number of fans among its expatriate workers in Germany and so the Turkish national team will draw great crowds at home and on the road when it plays the Germans.
“I am neither shocked nor pleased. Logistically, it’s not going to be simple,” Germany coach Joachim Löw said of the long trips to Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan. “It’s a German-speaking group with many German coaches.” Azerbaijan is coached by former Germany boss Berti Vogts, while Kazakhstan’s coach is also a German, Bernd Storck.
Defending champion Spain will have the Czech Republic and Scotland among its rivals in the qualifying round. Lithuania and Liechtenstein completed Group I in Sunday’s draw, meaning Spain, the top-ranked team in the world, will not have to face any team that qualified for this year’s World Cup in South Africa.
Reigning World Cup champion Italy will play two teams that have qualified for this year’s tournament in South Africa -- Serbia and Slovenia. Italy, which won the European title in 1968, also faces Northern Ireland, Estonia and the Faeroe Islands in Group C. As co-hosts, Poland and Ukraine qualify for the tournament automatically.
Draw.................
Group A: Germany, Turkey, Austria, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan
Group B: Russia, Slovakia, Ireland, Macedonia, Armenia, Andorra
Group C: Italy, Serbia, Northern Ireland, Slovenia, Estonia, Faeroe Islands
Group D: France, Romania, Bosnia, Belarus, Albania, Luxembourg
Group E: Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Hungary, Moldova, San Marino
Group F: Croatia, Greece, Israel, Latvia, Georgia, Malta
Group G: England, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Wales, Montenegro
Group H: Portugal, Denmark, Norway, Greek Cyprus, Iceland
Group I: Spain, Czech Republic, Scotland, Lithuania, Liechtenstein
