Guys, according to the news, it seems like this season in the Süper Lig, the championship is gathering in the hands of local coaches. 🤔 In recent years, with foreign coaches dominating the league, the rise of local coaches—do you think this means something? Or is it because Şenol Güneş, who is also the national team coach, is having an impact? Do you think this change will last, or will foreign coaches come out on top again by the end of the season? What are your observations?

Oh well, let's look at this question from my perspective at least: you're saying the national team has an impact, but I think what's really decisive is that local coaches have really sharpened their tactical skills in recent years. I mean, TFF also has programs supporting young local coaches and stuff, and that's showing itself a bit. Look at Atakaş's performance at Trabzonspor, for example—it's not just relying on experience, but also outsmarting opponents tactically that stands out. So the rise of locals isn't just a trend; it's actually a change born out of necessity.
And then there's the fact that these local coaches focus heavily on defensive organization, which I think is also tied to the national team's influence. Not just for show—local coaches in the national team generally play defensive-minded games, and now that trend is starting to show up in the league too. For example, they’ve kind of overcome the old away-game jitters, who knows, maybe teams coached by locals are conceding fewer goals or something. Or is this just luck? Nah, come on, this is definitely a systematic thing.
