"Despite punching their spot in the final of this year's Turkish Cup as they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory away at Genclerbirligi, the former Alanyaspor boss saw his squad come crashing back down to earth in a worrying fashion last time out.

Konyaspor enter on poor momentum after a 2-1 loss to Kayserispor and defeats in their final three matches.
