Turkey Wants Trapattoni!

Turkish Football Federation(TFF) desperate to hire Italian stallion, who is still under contract with Republic Ireland National Team.



The Turkish National team has been without the head coach since Fatih Terim resigned, after not qualifying , for the World Cup 2010 games...



Ever since than, TFF, is looking and talking to coaches with big names...



They try to talk to Hiddink, Low and more names but, they were not successful....

And they don't want to give the head helm, to the Turkish head coaches....



That is why Trapattoni is their last choice as a foreigner coach....



They are going to hire a young Turkish assistant coach to work with Trapattoni too...



And the farm team and Academy National team squad will be headed by Ersun Yanal.



They don't trust Ersun Yanal as a head coach of the National Team, but, they are going to hire him as a farm Team coach.....



Plus, they don't even give chance for Turkish football coaches, to be interviewed for the head coaching job.....



How absurd , is that............



Coaches like, Giray Bulak,Samet Aybaba, Hikmet Karaman, Yilmaz Vural who are well mutured on the job, won't even be looked at for this job....



When Fatih Terim toook the helm, for the first time back in 1993...



He did not have the experience and knowledge, these guys have now...



Turkish Football Federation should do the same thing again....



Start fresh with Turkish head coach again....



I know, Giray Bulak, has been considered for this job before....



Before they hired Senol Gunes , they approched Giray Bulak.......



Why not hire him now.....



If you give him the chance that Fatih Terim got, He will direct this team to better positions....



Better than what Terim left the team in the 42nd place.....



Please give them a chance , they will get the job done in a long run...



Some Turkish news paper columnist think Abdullah Avci and Tolunay Kafkas and Ertigrul Saglam and Ridvan Dilmen,the man who has not coached in last ten years for the job....( He was famous player now TV commentator)



Give me a brake!



All theese guys have only 10 years or less head caching experience in the league..

Plus, Every ones budy in the Turkish media , Abdullah Avci who coaches the team who has no fan bas at all!



They want to bring him to the National team coaching job....

The man coached the U- 17 National team and His current team Istanbul Municipality Team (Istanbul B B).....



And he started coaching ten years a go.....



So, Turkish Football's number one agenda is National Team coaching job....



Who is going to be the next coach of Turkish National Team?

I don't know the answer yet....

Because, TFF is not talking strait, at this matter....

But, behind close doors they are talking to foreign coaches for the top job in Turkey!



Currently, they are talking to the 70 year old Giovanni Trapatton .....................

But, they have to talk to Irish Federation too , because they still hold his contract...

We shell see.......

Former Galatasaray Defender Abel Xavier quits football and becomes Muslim!.

Former Galatasaray and Portuguese international player Abel Xavier has announced his conversion to be a Muslim.

Xavier held a press conference in the Ras Al Khaimah stadium in the UAE before a league match in which he announced his conversion and his new name – Faisal.

The former Galatasaray defender held the press conference in the presence of members of the local royal family and announced his official retirement from football. He is now set to take part in a humanitarian project which will benefit the lives of millions in Africa.

"It's an emotional goodbye and I hope to participate in something very satisfying in a new stage of my life," said Xavier. "In moments of grief, I have found comfort in Islam. Slowly, I learned a religion that professes peace, equality, freedom and hope. These are foundations with which I identify. Only after a thorough knowledge and an intense experience, I took this decision. I'd like to thank the royal family for its love and affection. They embraced me and made me feel special."

The 37-year-old Xavier last played for Los Angeles Galaxy. He launched his career in Portugal and pursued it in Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, England, Turkey, Germany, and ultimately the
USA.

DOES TRABZONSPOR HAVE A FINANCIAL PROBLEM?.HUGO BROOS SPEAKS OUT....

If you look at the Black Sea Region top team Trabzonspor, lately, there is a lot of weird things happening with this team....

They have wasted and sacked a lot of coaches in the past ten years....

They hired the coach that was sacked by their own hands, three times and rehired for the fourth time after they sacked Hugo Broos.

According the http://www.superlignews.com web site article, Hugo Bross, gave a recent interview to Belgian media and Broos, spoke about Trabzonspor's financial problems....


It was absurd to bring Senol Gunes for fourth time , when he announced in Korea he was going to rest for six months, after finishing his coaching career in S. Korea.....

They even went out of their way. to go to S.Korea to bring Senol Gunes to Trabzon...

They were desperate,,,,

Senol Gunes was going to be their savior....

For how long, I don't know?...

You could bet your money, If Gunes, loses three matches back to back or loses to Besiktas and Galatasaray, you could see him out the door too....

Because,that is how, things operates in Trabzon and in the most of the Turkish Super League teams!


Hugo Broos claimed, He and most of the players did not get paid for two months....

And the club officials wanted, Gokhan Unal and Alanzinho to be in the starting line up, from him...

Here is the whole remarks from Hugos Broos on http://www.superlignews.com ,web site...


After you read the interview and what Broos said , you are going to be shock!

But, I am sad to say, this this is what happens in the most of the Turkish soccer clubs in Turkey..

We have to admit this.....


But, This has to change...........

With professionals, running the teams and the league.........


HUGO BROOS SPEAKS OUT....


HUGO BROSS:

"The players wages were not paid for months, since the 28th of June no player wages has been paid. Only the players who had been left out of the squad, received their wages and they only did that because they were afraid of the players complaining to UEFA about their treatment by the club [since they are not receiving playing time either]."

"I myself didn't get paid between October and November, the board's president Sadri Sener had told me that the players wages had to come before my own and that they had a tight budget."

"Alanzinho was bought for 4 milion Euros and Gokhan Unal was bought for 6 million Euros. They wanted me to play them in the starting 11 even if they were off form, or were not motivated enough. If I didn't play them their values would drastically drop, they even had the assistant manager pressure me to try and play them both in the starting line up."

"Another situation that upset me at the club was the treatment of Ibrahima Yattara, he was forced to train even when he was injured the club expected too much of him. They even had the clubs doctor say he was fit to play even when he was clearly unfit! He came into training on one leg sometimes."

"There is also a problem with Tony Silva who wants to leave the club because he didn't manage to find a proper school for his child."
