Although Kayseri finished the last season in the 17th place, they will be part of the top level as one of three jackpot winners. They made a terrible start to the last season and the fans had to wait till the 10th fixture to see the 1st victory. Despite the coach changes, they were unable to improve their performances and recorded only two victories in 21 fixtures. They started collecting points after coach Robert Prosinecki was appointed as the 4th coach of the season, but the squad quality was not good enough to take them far. They parted company with the Croatian coach and appointed Bayram Bektas. They were the highest conceding team of the league with 72 goals last season. So to improve the backline should be his 1st task, but they have not done anything so far. The new coach has already declared that they also need new arrivals for each and every department. Artem Kravets and Muris Mesanovic left and the board added Mugdat Celik. In the midfield, the fans saw the arrivals of Ackah and Avramovski who were regulars in their teams last season. They look very safe on the net as they managed to keep Lung in the team despite some offers. With backups like Eray and Ismail, they should have no problem in the long season. It is obvious that they will need time to adapt as their new players arrived late. Until then, it would be better for them to collect some points, because the league will kick off right after that.

Target

To be realistic, with their current squad they should think about avoiding relegation.

Season Review

2019/2020

№17: Kayserispor

Despite the great efforts of coach Robert Prosinecki, Kayseri had to finish the season in the relegation zone, but the Turkish FA’s cancellation of relegations saved them this time around. When the season’s 1st part was completed, they were standing in the bottom place with only 10 points. During that period, they worked with three different coaches, but none of them could end the poor league run. In January, the board appointed coach Robert Prosinecki. At first the team struggled a little bit under his charge but then the coach started to know his players and they started to collect points. However, they failed to cope with the survival fight’s stress and could get only one point in the last four decisive fixtures. On the final match day, they could have got out of the danger zone, if they had scored a goal instead of conceding a late one against Trabzon. The biggest problem of Kayseri was not to have a steady line up. During the whole season, only four players featured in 25 or more fixtures as starters. Except a few players, there is a big difference in squad quality between them and most of their league rivals. The offence line was spurred by Pedro Henrique’s goals, but Bernard Mensah did a great job in both phases of the game. Besides defending well in the midfield, he scored 5 goals and served 8 assists. In term of next season, their president is expected to stick with the Croatian coach. It is a great advantage as he knows what the team need the most. Besides bringing some quality to the defence line and midifeld, it is a must to keep Mensah in the team.
