Türkiye will begin a new chapter under coach Sergen Yalçın when they host Belgium in İzmir on Thursday, seeking to end a miserable UEFA Nations League campaign and keep their hopes of avoiding direct relegation alive, according to Daily Sabah.
The Crescent-Stars welcome the Red Devils to Gürsel Aksel Stadium for their penultimate League A Group 1 fixture, with both sides facing different objectives.
While Belgium are fighting to secure a place in the quarterfinals, Türkiye are looking to salvage something from a campaign in which they have lost all four opening matches.
Yalçın, who replaced Italian coach Vincenzo Montella, will take charge of his first match since signing a four-year contract on Oct. 22. The former international midfielder becomes the 48th coach in Türkiye's history and the 27th Turkish manager to lead the national team.
