KİT Gives Students the Opportunity to Talk with Coach Bülent Uygun from Sivasspor
Bülent Uygun, the coach of Sivasspor, the current leaders in the Turkcell Super League football championships, was hosted by KİT (The Culture and Communications Club) on March 23. He addressed students, talking mostly about Sivasspor's great success since they advanced to the Turkcell Super League. He said that “the most significant reasons for this success is the system, team spirit, and ambition that not only Sivasspor has, but also all of the people in Sivas have.” He added that the people of Sivas have a belief that they can become the champions of the league.
When he was asked which “number 10” player is best at the moment between Alex, Lincoln and Delgado -from FB, GS, and BJK football clubs respectively- he said “Alex is better than Lincoln and Delgado; however, Hagi has been the greatest number 10 player so far in Turkey.”
He also spoke about working with Hakan Şükür to establish a developmental program for referees. His other aims are to construct a nursing home and a multi-purpose sports center in Sivas, but his biggest dream is to win an international tournament as the coach of the Turkish national team. Several times, Fenerbahçe fans expressed their desire to see Bülent Uygun as the Coach of their team. His response: İnşallah! After delivering his speech, he headed off to İzmir to undergo surgery.
