In a statement, the federation said the decision to terminate the
contract came after talks with Hiddink. The coach was expected to leave
after Turkey was knocked out of the Euro 2012 following a 0-0 draw with
Croatia on Tuesday evening.
In remarks in Zagreb on Wednesday, Hiddink blamed a lack of support and
opportunities for young players at clubs for Turkey\'s inconsistency on
the big stage and their failure to reach Euro 2012. "All national teams
representing a country, starting with the Under-14 side up to the senior
level, depend on how the clubs are organized and how seriously they
take the education of young players from the age of 10," Dutchman
Hiddink told reporters.
"In countries like Germany and Holland, this system is highly developed
and the results are obvious. Holland is a small country but the
national team is always in the big tournaments, with the solitary
exception of the 2002 World Cup, because young players are getting a lot
of chances to play for their clubs and are well educated. On the other
hand, only one or two players from Turkey\'s Under-19 and Under-21 sides
have come through to senior level and while in those countries it\'s a
reliable process, in Turkey it\'s an exception," he said.
"Turkey has a lot of potential but will only take part in big
tournaments more frequently if the system is organized in a better way,
because the foundation must lie in the clubs and be 100 percent
efficient," he added.
