Şenol Güneş Responds to Question About the National Team

Şenol Güneş took part in the Career Days event held at İbrahim Erdemoğlu Sports High School. Meeting with students, the experienced coach answered questions about his career.

Asked whether anyone had spoken with him before Sergen Yalçın took over the national team, Güneş replied, "They did not talk to me." He said that in every institution the decision is made by the authorities and the responsibility lies with them, and he congratulated Sergen Yalçın. He also noted that the federation's management continues in its role and that a congress will be held in June.

The coach stressed that success or failure cannot be attributed to a single cause. Güneş said that whether the decision was right will become clear over time, and that whoever takes the post is the coach of the national team and he expects everyone to act accordingly.

When asked about the lessons from the third place finish at the 2002 World Cup, Güneş said that in the national team, players and administrators can sometimes disregard themselves. He also revealed that he is preparing a documentary about his life and career, and said he looks forward to the project being completed.
