Stefan Kuntz took charge of both games as Turkey national team manager after replacing Senol Gunes.

Turkey managed to keep their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup alive following their last two results.

The Turkish national side had been in poor form under Gunes since Euro 2020; crashing out in the group stages after failing to register a single point.

The Red-Whites were first in their World Cup qualification group but after a string of bad displays they dropped into 3rd place jeopardising hopes of making it to Qatar.

Gunes was subsequently fired and replaced by Kuntz who has got off to a decent start.

The next FIFA World Rankings will be revealed on 25 November.
