Former national team player and football commentator Nihat Kahveci reacted to the TFF President's statement about Sergen Yalçın. Kahveci criticized the criterion used in the statement.

Honestly, I've had enough, I'm fed up. What does shooting a basket with your foot have to do with football?

Nihat Kahveci

Kahveci went on:

In that case, give a 20-year contract to anyone who can toss a chickpea in the air and catch it in their mouth. What kind of criterion is this?

Nihat Kahveci

Kahveci's criticism emphasized that the criteria put forward for coaching should be related to football.
