Antalyaspor have appointed Yusuf Şimşek as their new manager.
Yusuf Şimşek resigned as manager of Karşıyaka earlier this week. The Izmir based club accepted Yusuf’s resignation. Yusuf departed from the club after recording just one win in their last five games.
Last weekend’s 1-0 defeat away to Şanlıurfaspor was Yusuf’s final game in charge.
Yusuf has replaced Hami Mandirali as manager of Antalyaspor. The PTT 1. Lig side sacked Mandirali after back to back losses in the league.

Antalyaspor will have to go through the playoff route if they finish in the top 6.
