Fenerbahce regained titleFenerbahce took their 17th Turkish league title last season to move clear of Galatasaray in the all-time ranking. Their main rivals Besiktas lost the championship two round before the end of 2006/07 campaign, but they won the Turkey Cup, beating Kayseri Erciyesspor 1-0 after extra-time. Here is a short summary of the 2006/07 Turkish football league season:
Kasimpasaspor secured a palce in the Turkish Super League for the first time in 43 seasons after their success in the promotion play-offs. The Istanbul team joined automatically promoted League A champions Oftasspor and and runners-up Belediyespor, neither of whom have played in the top flight before. The trio replaced the relegated Sakaryaspor, Kayseri Erciyesspor and Antalyaspor.
The table shows the overall number of titles for each club in Turkish Superleague since 1959 and their league standings in the last five seasons. Brazilian star in TurkeyFenerbahce have strengthened their squad in the off-season with seven signing, the most important of them being Brazilian left-back Roberto Carlos. Carlos arrived on a free transfer from Real Madrid after the Turkish champions have shown the most interest in signing the 34-year-old. "They have spoken to me lots of times and a very important element in helping me make my decision was that former Brazilian international Zico is their coach" said Carlos, who spent eleven years at Real Madrid. He won 125 caps for Brazil in a career that has seen him win the 2002 FIFA World Cup, three Spanish titles and three UEFA Champions League crowns among other honours.

New coaches for new seasonFrench coach Jean Tigana has parted company with Besiktas by mutual consent after his team's failure to keep up with Istanbul rivals Fenerbahce in the battle for the Turkish title. Ertugrul Saglam has been named as Tigana's successor. The 37-year-old has signed a two-year contract following successful spells with Samsunspor and Kayserispor. Saglam spent six years with Besiktas as a player between 1994 and 2000. Galatasaray have named German coach Karl-Heinz Feldkamp as the replacement for Erik Gerets, who has parted company with the Istanbul giants following a disappointing end to the 2006/07 season. The 73-year-old Feldkamp coached Galatasaray in 1992/93, when they won both the league and Turkish Cup titles, but he has not led a team for eight years because of health problems. He will have another problem this season. Galatasaray will play their first five home matches behind closed doors due to a penalty received. Genclerbirligi, Gaziantepspor and Ankaragucu also have all appointed new coaches for the 2007/08 season. Genclerbirligi have agreed terms with Fuat Capa. Gaziantepspor have turned to 43-year-old Mesut Bakkal, who had been in charge of Genclerbirligi before standing down in May. Ankaragucu have gone for former Albania coach Hans-Peter Briegel.
The table displays Turkish Super League standings for season 2006/2007. Fenerbahce favored againTurkey's top football league has only had four different champions in its 49-year history. The Istanbul teams, Fenerbahce, Besiktas and Galatasaray have dominated the Turkish league since its inception and it will again be hard to look beyond Istanbul for this season's champions. Trabzonspor is the only team from outside Istanbul to have lifted the crown, but the last time was in 1984, 23 years ago!
