Kasimpasa could have found themselves in the 1st league, if coach Fuat Capa had not arrived and relegation had not been lifted. Until his arrival, Kasimpasa had collected only 4 ponits in 10 fixtures and were standing in the relegation zone. With him, they suffered only one defeat in the last 12 fixtures and finished the campaign in the midtable. Following such success, the fans were very hopeful for the next season, but the board disappointed them so far. First of all, they parted company with coach Fuat Capa as he was replaced by Mehmet Altiparmak, who will work in the Super League for the 1st time in his career. This does not mean that he is not good enough as he was able to lead three different teams to promotion to the top level for the last three seasons in a row. As known, Kasimpasa are a club which have been very careful with their finances for years. They have generally been adding loanees for a while. In the summer, though, they saw the departures of the loanees, but they did not bring anyone so far except Yasin Dulger, who spent the past season on loan in the 3rd league. The former Porto and Besiktas winger Quaresma was released. Besides that, they sold 12-goal scorer Mame Thiam and Fatih Ozturk but got no replacements. The fans got shocked when they heard that. Trabzon have complained with the FA about creating unfair competition. The current squad look very weak now. They will probably bring some players, but it is too late and they are expected to struggle in the initial fixtures until they find their rhythm.

Target

If they bring some useful players in, they at least have the capacity for a midtable finish. If not, they should aim at escaping relegation.

Season Review

2019/2020

№10: Kasimpasa

Kasimpasa failed to kick off the season well, but they could finish it very well. After facing disappointments with Kemal Ozdes and Tayfur Havutcu, they did a great job under the charge of Fuat Capa. Had he arrived earlier, they could have done much better in the table. There was no special performer in the team’s rising form which could see them move to the midtable from the danger zone, but there are several contributors. Mame Thiam and Fode Koita have spurred the team’s offensive power with their 24 goals and 9 assists. In the midfield, Aytac and Hajradinovic also offered their career’s best performances. They all helped the team suffer only one defeat in the last 12 fixtures. Till February, they suffered long losing runs with the previous coaches. Those slip-ups cost them a lot. At this point, the board’s winter-break loanee arrivals like Hadergjonaj, Tirpan, Haddadi and Meriah improved the team’s defensive performance and they recorded 7 clean sheets in the last 12 fixtures. Some fans think that the club president should have appointed coach Fuat Capa earlier on and is expected to keep on working with him, but no. Because of economical reasons, they very surprisingly parted company with him. For the future, they have to fill his role immediately as the team have to work for the next season’s as soon as possible. Since loanees will have to return to their clubs and there are some offers for important offensive players, they need to decide about their summer transfer policy at once. The 1st task should be to improve the backline and keep the quality of the offence line.
