Turkey?s top flight football will resume with a Ziraat Turkish Cup game on April 14 following a week-long hiatus in the wake of a gun attack on the Fenerbahçe team bus.

Beşiktaş’s defensive midfielder Veli Kavlak hit the headlines Dec. 25 not for any great play in his side’s loss to Adana Demirspor, but a rare objection to the referee to prevent a rival from receiving a red card.

As the rivalry on the pitch heats up in the Ziraat Turkish Cup, a match between Istanbul giants Galatasaray and third-tier Diyarbakır Büyükşehir Belediyespor witnessed unexpected tensions mirroring the country’s political fault lines.

Turkish football club Galatasaray has decided to part ways with Italian Manager Cesare Prandelli, Vice Chairman Abdülrahim Albayrak has told Anadolu Agency.

Daily Hürriyet reported that Hamza Hamzaoğlu, a former Galatasaray player who has been assisting coach Fatih Terim for the national team, has been assigned as the club's new coach.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Sivasspor and Eskişehirspor’s appeals against the bans handed to them last month, meaning that the two Turkish teams will be barred from European competition in the coming season.
