Patience with coaches in the world of football is less and less and it is not strange that throughout a season, changes in the benches often exceed ten in various leagues on the continent. Perhaps due to the pandemic and the economic cuts that almost all clubs are suffering, this year fewer technicians are being fired than in previous years, but this does not happen in the Turkish Super League, a championship in itself, very given to often opting for the drastic decision to change the coach almost at the first change if things do not go well.
The data this season in the highest category of Turkish football is devastating. And is that with 26 matches played, that is to say a little more than half a year, it already accumulates more relays on the bench since the championship started, a total of 22, what teams do you have, which this season was extended from 18 to 21 due to the candelation of the declines, an option adopted after the break in competition due to the pandemic.
The last to join this list of coaches dismissed from their position is the Romanian And Petrescu, league champion last season with the Club and who by mutual agreement as reported by the club, ceased to be coach of the Kayserispor after alone 43 days in office.
In fact, the Anatolian team is the third time that they dismissed the coach. It already did so in November, when Bayram Bektas was relieved by Samet Aybaba, who already gave the witness to Petrescu in January. Irfan Buz lasted less at Kasimpasa, only 11 days, or Huseyin Çimsir at Erzurumspur, 19.
Dan Petrescu, after only 43 days as Kayserispor coach, is the last to join this list

Another case to highlight is that of Konyaspor, which with the league already started but still not debuting since you didn’t do it until a week later since on the first day it was the team that was resting, changed the coach. Another of those who was a victim of this bleeding from the benches in Turkish football, in the Denizlispor, is an old acquaintance by Spanish fans, Robert prosinecki, who the previous season had also trained in Turkey, at Kayserispor, after leading the teams of Bosnia and Azerbaijan.
