Samuel Eto'o named Antalyaspor boss on interim basis

Turkish top-flight team Antalyaspor name experienced striker Samuel Eto'o as their new manager on an interim basis following the departure of Yusuf Simsek.

Samuel Eto'o has been named as the interim boss of Turkish top-flight team Antalyaspor.

The Cameroon international only joined the club on a three-year playing deal in June, but has now been placed in charge after Yusuf Simsek left his position at the helm.

The news was revealed in a statement issued by Antalyaspor president Gultekin Gencer.

"We sat down with [technical director] Mehmet Ugurlu and Eto'o. Both will jointly coordinate training. The board commissioned Ugurlu and Eto'o to assume coaching duties until a new coach is found," Gencer told DHA.

Eto'o, 34, will reportedly still make himself available for selection on the field despite taking on a staff role.
