Lippi to Galatasaray? Could happen if Adnan Polat has his way.

By: Musab | March 25th, 2008

According to LigTv, newly elected Galatasaray president will be asking both Marcelo Lippi and Didier Deschamps to come and work for Galatasaray next season.

Its no secret that the feeble old fool in charge now will probably be sent packing at the end of the season, but speculation is rife as to who will take over. Apparently Adnan Polat wants to bring a certain Marcelo Lippi to the helm.

Apparently Galatasaray and Lippi have agreed on a meeting date and Lippi has supposedly stated that Turkey would be a fresh new challange for him (where have we heard that before?) and that hes very excited about the prospect of managing a European power such as Galatasaray.

Bullshit.

Mark my words, Lippi will never come to Galatasaray. He might not even go to any club, but certainly he wont come to Galatasaray. Theres a chance that he might think about being the new Derwall and try to radically improve the Turkish game as Derwall did. But I doubt it.

Galatasaray’s plan B is Didier Deschamps apparently. This I’ll give a 15% chance. Maybe 15.3%. 15.32%

And finally comes Plan C, the most likely candidate in my opinion. Bringing in Miracle Worker Abdullah Avci from Istanbul Buyuksehir Belediyesspor. Avci has turned I.B.Bspor from a second league team with funds from the government to a very respectable midtable team which has, up to now defeated Fenerbahce, Besiktas, Trabzonspor and has managed a tie away at Fenerbahce (The scum managed a 90th minute goal), and away at Galatasaray (2-0 down then 2-2, great come back from the CimBom)

Avci’s current assistant is Arif Erdem, a Galatasaray legend, and these two make a lethal duo. The downfall of Feldkamp and Gerets before him was the fact that they played around with the team, they broke down morale and allowed the team to miss out on great oppurtunities to win the league. Feldkamp’s still try to win this year, and he might actually pull it off but only with the help of the team’s real head, Hakan Sukur. Avci would never play around with the team and Arif would actually boost morale.

Let’s see what happens.
