If the Appeals Board reduces the penalty, Okan Buruk will be on the sidelines for the match against Kasımpaşa in the Super League.
WHAT DID OKAN BURUK SAY?
Okan Buruk, regarding the 1-match penalty he received, stated after the Turkey Cup match against Konyaspor, "I was referred to the PFDK due to an interview after a match. They gave me a 1-match penalty. No other coach has received a penalty related to this this season. They gave me a 1-match penalty for damaging the brand value of Turkish football. We will go to the Appeals Board. There was nothing in this interview that would warrant a penalty, but a 1-match penalty was given. We trust the decision of the people there. From now on, I will only take questions related to the matches we play."
