Sergen Yalçin, the new head coach of the Turkey national team, made a statement. Sport24.az reports that the specialist spoke about his appointment:
"I thank the federation management. As a player, I also wore the national team jersey with pride. Now, the "steering wheel" of the team has been entrusted to me. I am grateful to everyone who has shown trust. Beautiful days await us, I believe in that. We will need everyone on this path.
There should be a local coach in the national team. This is an important factor. If the squad is Turkish, the coach should be as well. The "door" of the national team is open to everyone."
