Burak Yılmaz Takes Charge at Çorum FK as the Team Starts to Recover

Çorum FK, who won the Trendyol 1. Lig play-off final to earn promotion to the Süper Lig for the first time in their history, drew away to reigning champions Galatasaray in the first match of the season. After three defeats, two wins and a draw in the first six weeks, collecting 7 points, the red-and-blacks made a management decision following the results.

On 24 September, the club parted ways with head coach Uğur Uçar. Burak Yılmaz was appointed as his replacement. Yılmaz began working with the team on 25 September and had his first test against Gaziantep FK, the club he had last coached. Çorum beat Gaziantep FK away, earning their first win under the new head coach.

Under Yılmaz, the side beat Çaykur Rizespor at home in week 8. Then in week 9, they lost away to Göztepe, their only defeat in this spell. In week 10, Çorum won away at Erzurumspor FK, who are in the title race in the Trendyol 1. Lig, and took three wins and one defeat from four matches.

Çorum FK have scored 21 goals and conceded 16 in their 10 league matches. Sitting 6th with 16 points, they will host Fenerbahçe, who have the same number of points, in week 11. The match is seen as an important test of the strength of the Burak Yılmaz side.
