Pressure Mounts on Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk
• This Day • Sports
Okan Buruk, the head coach of Galatasaray, is under significant pressure as the team struggles in the Turkish Super Lig title race. Following a 2-1 defeat to Trabzonspor, Galatasaray's lead at the top has been reduced to just one point over their rivals. The team has won only four of their last five league matches, with a concerning away form highlighted by four consecutive defeats. The absence of striker Victor Osimhen, who is recovering from a right forearm injury sustained during a UEFA Champions League tie against Liverpool, has disrupted the team's attacking rhythm. Analysts, including Rasim Ozan K Tahyal, have warned that Buruk could be sacked if Galatasaray fails to win their next two matches against Göztepe and Kocaelispor. The pressure is mounting as the team prepares for a crucial intercontinental derby against Fenerbahçe on April 26, with Osimhen expected to return to full training by April 20.
