Youth Football Coach!

[Refeto]

Dutch coach Joop Lensen is the new man to take charge of improvements in Fenerbahçe’s youth football set-up. Speaking to FBTV after signing a contract with the club today, Lensen said: "Good facilities have been constructed here but there is still plenty to do. I know Fenerbahçe has very big targets. I explained where youth football should be amongst these targets and my thoughts were accepted and I came to an agreement."

Lensen has a rich background, having been responsible for youth development at AZ Alkmaar and in the Dutch FA.

President of the Holland Fenerbahçe Supporters Association Seçkin Kaya had an important role to play in Lensen’s arrival. Kaya said: "We’ve been talking to Lensen about Fenerbahçe for some time. I believe he’ll be very beneficial with his experience. He’d come to Turkey before and we carried out a short tour of the facilities.

"He has some great thoughts about youth development and wants to put them to life."

which youngsters have shown good performances? who do we need to watch out for and expect good things from? do they automatically transfer from younf team to senior squad or what? whats the process?

Yeah you can get your youngsters into the A-squad. But these youngster has a amateur contract. If the head-coach wants to see him in the A-squad, they sign a pro contract but until then you can play them in your A-squad with amateur contract to test them. Fenerbahce has only Olcan so far. We dont have to much good youngsters and thats why Fenerbahce hired Joop Lensen. They want do it like Ajax!
