Football Season Guide

It was a pretty interesting season for Karabuk. First of all, they won the promotion on the final fixture of the campaign. Before that, they had to change their coach twice during the season. At home, they were pretty good but their away performance in the last two months made them catch the top two places. The board did not think about keeping on working with coach Yucel Ildiz. In order to replace him, they came to an agreement with young coach Igor Tudor. Karabuk will be the third team which former Juventus player will be in charge as a head-coach. No doubt that his task will not be easy as he has a brand-new team. During the summer, eighteen players arrived to the city. It seems like time is only thing they need at the moment. On the net, Adriano was persuaded to stay. Besides him, experienced Ahmet Sahin was added. Considering that they also have Ercument Kafkasyali, they should not have any problem on the net. To get Dany for the centre-back is a good choice as he has played for Galatasaray and Besiktas. In order to partner him, there are the new arrivals Gaman and Baris. The latter has played for Kasimpasa at the top level but he has done lots of mistakes. The fans hope that he has improved himself since that. At right-back, Kokalovic will continue to save but the fans will watch Latovlevici in action. Since he has played for Genclerbirligi during the last season, it is good to get him. Up front, Yatabare is expected to do so much. Serdar has not been playing well on the recent years and he hopes to return to his past performances. Traore has spent the last season in Konya and he proved what he can do. The trio’s performance is crucial considering Alexe’s long injury. The coach has plenty of options for the offensive flanks. Besides the new arrivals like Rodic, Tanase, there are also Koksal, Zenke, Kuca and Isaac. There is also a sweet competition for the front of the defence line as the coach has many choices including Poko, Neagu, Ceyhun and Osman. At the moment, the only absence is represented by a play-maker who will get all the creative responsibility. Last season, the fans proved that they can create a great atmosphere at home. So it seems like their future will be decided at home.
