Kenan Yıldız, the Turkish football manager and coach who is currently the head coach at the Turkish club Beşiktaş JK, has announced that he will be stepping down as the head coach of the Turkey national team due to personal reasons.

Yıldız made his debut in the Turkish league system with Beşiktaş in 2011 and was appointed as their first coach in 2016. He has since gone on to lead them to several top-flight titles and a spot in the UEFA Champions League.

However, his time in charge was not without controversy. In 2019, Yıldız was charged with raping a minor girl in a public place in Istanbul. The incident sparked outrage among fans and media and led to calls for reform in Turkish society. However, Yıldız denied the charges and defended himself against the accusations.

In recent years, Yıldız has been involved in controversies related to his personal life. He has also been criticized for his handling of the Turkish military during the conflict in Syria, which led to his suspension from coaching duties.

The news of Yıldız's departure comes after the announcement of new head coaches for both the Turkish national team and the Turkish club Beşiktaş JK. The new coaches will take over in January 2024, while the current head coach, Hakan Çakmak, will remain in charge until the end of the season.

Yıldız's decision to step down as head coach has left many fans disappointed and angry. Many believe that his tenure as the Turkish national team coach was overshadowed by the scandal surrounding him, and that he should have stepped down earlier.

However, it remains to be seen how this decision will impact the Turkish national team. With Yıldız's departure, the team may need to make some changes in personnel to fill his shoes. It will also be interesting to see how the Turkish youth teams perform under the new head coach.
