Şenol Güneş Comments on Sergen Yalçın's Appointment to the National Team
Şenol Güneş spoke publicly for the first time about Sergen Yalçın's appointment to the Turkish national team and said he was not consulted. Güneş stated that whether the decision was right will become clear over time.
Sergen Yalçın was appointed to the Turkish national team after parting ways with head coach Vincenzo Montella. The Turkish Football Federation made the change following poor results in the UEFA Nations League, and a four-year contract was signed with Yalçın.
Speaking at an event at a high school in Trabzon, Şenol Güneş said he had not been consulted. Güneş said that in every institution decisions are made by the authorities and that responsibility lies with them. He also reminded that the federation's management remains in place and that a congress will be held in June.
Güneş said success and failure cannot be attributed to a single cause. He stated that whether the decision was right or wrong will be seen over time. Stressing that whoever takes the job is the coach of the national team, Güneş said he wished the new head coach success.
Yalçın will be the 27th Turkish coach to lead the national team. The national team lost its first four matches in the Nations League and will play its remaining two matches in November. The Turkish side will face Belgium in İzmir on November 12 and play away against France on November 15.
