The Mediterranean based side seem to have gone on an early holiday and have not played with much conviction over the last few weeks.

Akhisar are coached by Roberto Carlos. The former Real Madrid legend also had an illustrious international career. Carlos lifted the 2002 World Cup as well as the 1997 and 1999 Copa America for Brazil.

The 42-year-old was also successful in Turkey winning two Turkish Cups with Fenerbahçe before returning to the country as manager of Sivasspor.
