Popovic’s Turkish twist

TONY Popovic’s tenure at Turkish side Kardemir Karabukspor has been thrown into chaos, with the Super Lig club’s entire board of directors resigning en masse.

President Hikmet Ferudun Tankut and the 11 other board members have quit, barely a month after Popovic was installed as coach.

An extraordinary general meeting is slated for next week as Karabukspor reels from a financial crisis, according to reports in the Turkish press.

It puts Popovic, who quit A-League club Western Sydney to take up the role as Karabukspor coach, in a precarious position.
