TFF Gives Yıldıray Baştürk a New Role in Europe

The Turkish Football Federation has appointed Sergen Yalçın as head coach following the parting of ways with Vincenzo Montella. At the same time, the federation has put a new scouting system on its agenda to monitor young players who play in Europe.

According to a report by Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, the TFF is considering Yıldıray Baştürk for the position of Europe Officer for Youth National Teams. As part of the plan, the establishment of a player scouting committee in Europe, which would work under Baştürk, is also being targeted.

According to rumors, former national team players could be assigned to identify and track talent in Europe. The names to sit on the committee and the regions they would cover have not yet been finalized.

The federation's main goal is to follow players of Turkish origin abroad who could become national team candidates in a more regular and systematic way. No official statement has been made yet. The news is expected to become clearer in the coming days.
