Following the parting of ways with Vincenzo Montella, while the search for a head coach continues in the Turkish National Team, a surprise name has come to the fore. It has been claimed that the TFF plans to put Samet Aybaba in charge of the team for the Belgium and France matches to be played in November.
After the end of Vincenzo Montella's era with the National Team, it is wondered who the new head coach will be. It has been claimed that the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) is working on a temporary solution for two critical matches to be played in November.
TWO-MATCH FORMULA FROM TFF
After four consecutive defeats in the UEFA Nations League, the federation had parted ways with Vincenzo Montella. It was stated that the TFF, which continues its search for a new head coach, is not warm to a long-term agreement due to the ordinary elective general assembly to be held next year.
According to Milliyet's report, the federation is considering making a temporary appointment covering the two matches in November instead of taking a decision that would tie the hands of the new management.
SURPRISE CANDIDATE SAMET AYBABA
It has been alleged that, in this direction, the TFF plans to bring Samet Aybaba, Technical Coordinator of the Youth National Teams, to the head of the National Team. It was reported that the experienced coach is thought to take charge primarily in the Belgium and France matches, and that the results obtained in these matches could be influential in decisions regarding his future.
EYES ON NOVEMBER 12 AND 15
The National Team will face Belgium on November 12 and France on November 15 in the UEFA Nations League. Samet Aybaba, who previously worked as a head coach at Adana Demirspor, had also served as the football teams coordinator at Beşiktaş. While it is eagerly awaited what decision the TFF will make regarding the head coach position, no official statement has yet been made regarding the appointment of Samet Aybaba.
