Football Season Guide

No doubt that the last season was a very disappointing as they finished the league in the 6th place and got eliminated in the group stage of Conference League but the Turkish Cup title gave a consolation to the fans at least. As expected, the new board did not continue to work with caretaker coach Serdar Topraktepe and filled the role with coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst who has worked for Feyenoord, G.Rangers and GZ R&F in his career. He has won six cups in his coaching career but he has not been working since 2022’s November. His biggest task will be to regain their reputations in the league after they have stayed 46 points far from the top. Last season, their offensive record was not acceptable. That is why he signed Ciro Immobile and Rafa from Lazio and Benfica respectively. Can Keles also arrived after he did well with the city rivals Karagumruk in the last season. Considering that they already have Kilicsoy, Rashica, Muleka and Aboubakar, they are very likely to produce more goals this season. This season, they look stronger at center back as Paulista & Topcu arrived. They should have no problem in midfield as there are Gedson, Al Musrati, Ucan. In this point, Hadziahmetovic’s return is important from his heavy injury. Since they are going to fight in three competitions, there will be high expectations. That is why the Dutch coach should bring some more new faces.
