Turk Telekom Ankara has named Selcuk Ernak as its new head coach, with the 53-year-old replacing Nenad Canak. Three seasons after last appearing in the competition, Coach Ernak takes charge of last season’s EuroCup runner-up.
Ernak ended a five-year spell in charge of fellow Turkish side Darussafaka over the summer, having previously led the team in the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague and the BKT EuroCup. He oversaw Darussafaka’s return to the EuroLeague in the 2018-19 season before guiding the team in the EuroCup in the 2019-20 campaign. Darussafaka went a league-worst 5-25 in the EuroLeague regular season and 5-5 in the EuroCup regular season, then 3-3 in the Top 16.
Canak, who was dismissed as Turk Telekom boss on Tuesday, oversaw a 1-2 record in this season’s EuroCup and a 2-2 mark in the Turkish League. On Wednesday night, interim head coach Can Akin saw Turk Telekom fall 78-91 at home to ratiopharm Ulm, as the team fell to 1-3 in the EuroCup. Coach Ernak is now tasked with trying to turn around Turk Telekom's European campaign as it hopes to once again reach the latter stages of the EuroCup.
