The disappointing European Championship was followed by poor results in the World Cup qualification. That costs Senol Günes the job.
The Turkish association TFF has separated from national coach Senol Günes. The TFF officially announced this on Friday. The association announced that the separation was “amicable”. Günes’ departure is the result of a series of poor results for the Turkish national team.
The 69-year-old former Besiktas coach took over Turkey in March 2018 and then initially achieved good results. Recently, however, the team weakened significantly and especially disappointed at the European Championship. After three defeats in three group games, the Günes troupe, which was traded as a secret favorite, was the end of the line at an early stage.
Turkey disappointed in World Cup qualification under Senol Günesin
Even in the World Cup qualification, things are no longer going smoothly. Most recently it set a disappointing 2-2 at home against Montenegro and a 6-1 in the Netherlands. In Group G, Turkey now only ranks third behind Oranje and Norway.
Günes, whose relationship with the top of the association had been considered cold for some time, had already said a few days ago after the defeat by the Netherlands: “Before I became national coach, I was begged to take the job. Now they are saying that I will leave It is believed that my departure will make everything better. But don’t worry: I’m not here forever. “
