According to a report in Fotospor (as translated by Sport Witness), Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk is likely to lose his job at the end of the season, particularly because he trusted the likes of Tanguy Ndombele.
Ndombele has failed to impress since his loan switch to Galatasaray last summer and even though he has made a few appearances over recent months, question marks continue to be raised about his lacklustre displays.
Just a couple of weeks ago, Fanatik questioned how the 27-year-old is getting any game time at all, asserting that he was robbing game time from young players at the club.
Tanguy Ndombele continues to be a problem out on loan
Now Fotospor point to Ndombele’s struggles as one of the reasons why Buruk is unlikely to be in charge of the Istanbul club next season.
The report points out that the 50-year-old has been questioned for failing to integrate stars like Wilfried Zaha, Hakim Ziyech and the Tottenham midfielder into his side.
The outlet states that Buruk’s faith in the likes of Ndombele has not paid off and instead of trying to get the best of the summer signings, the Galatasaray boss has kept asking the club’s hierarchy for new players which has not gone down well.
Spurs Web Opinion
Irrespective of whether Buruk is in charge of Galatasaray next season, it is quite clear that the club are not going to take up the option to sign Ndombele permanently. Tottenham would likely find it difficult to offload the Frenchman in the summer and may even have to consider paying off his contract.
