Mircea Lucescu

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has part ways with experienced coach Mircae Lucescu following a string of bad results at the UEFA Nations League.

Turkey's national football team has carried its hopes of claiming a berth in the next year's World Cup to the last two qualification games by beating Croatia 1-0 at home on Sept. 5.

Turkish national football team, under a new coach amid debate over the squad selection, visits Ukraine on Sept. 2 to keep its slim chances of advancing to the 2018 World Cup alive.

Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu took helm of the national team following Fatih Terim's departure last month, and his player choices have been the top subject heading to his debut match.

Romanian coach Mircea Lucescu took over as the Turkish national team head coach on Aug. 2, three days after Fatih Terim's departure. 

He is expected to meet with Turkish Football Federation (TFF) head Yıldırım Demirören in Istanbul.  

Lucesu was previously appointed as the coach of Galatasaray in 2000 and Beşiktaş in 2002. 

Fenerbahçe, the Turkish giant that has undergone a facelift this summer by picking up Portuguese international Nani and Dutch star Robin van Persie from Manchester United, will return to the Champions League with a third qualifying round game against Ukraine?s Shakhtar Donetsk, after the draw was made on July 17.
