| Koray received several
nominations from colleagues and some of his players. |
| |
| “my coach is the best
because …….. everybody has got better by coming to his
training and also his matches”. |
| |
| "I believe my coach
stands out from the crowd. Not just because of his coaching
skills but mainly for his methods and his approach
|
| to teaching.
…….We have had a very successful season in terms of
football, but he has showed us that this is not the only
matter in concern. Cups, trophies and awards may be proof of
achievement but I know his definition is way above that…….
He also is firm but fair and makes sure every player
understands what he wants us to do clearly. He is the best
coach in our league, he deserves this nomination because he is
the best coach out there!” |

“He just took the whole team
to Turkey where they played 5 premiership u16 clubs. He is like a
father, brother and friend to all his players. He helps with all of
their personal problems. He cares about his team so much.”
“I feel Koray is dedicated and highly motivated and is very
successful.”
As a county winner Koray will receive a Plaque, Bursary towards
next coaching qualification of up to £200, Pair of Community Shield
tickets (provided by McDonald’s).
