A few days ago Beshir El Tabei and Murat Salar's team Caykur Rizespor sacked their manager Metin Yildiz because of the team's bad form. Two days ago Rizespor appointed Sakip Ozberk as their new manager.

Sakip Ozberk commented in the press conference, "I came here to establish this team again.

"If we can win two matches we can do better."

He continued, "There are some gaps from last season's team but they've been repaired via new transfers. We need some time for adaptation though."

Although Rize were on track for a UEFA Cup finish last season, they are now near the bottom of the table and are among those tipped for relegation. "In the last years we could predict relegated teams in advance, but now we can't say, so small differences are very important. We want to create those small differences."
