The chairman of the Turkish Football Federation resigned on Tuesday along with his two deputies, further deepening the crisis in Turkish football over a match-fixing investigation on which UEFA urgently wants the federation to act. The federation (TFF) said in a statement that Husnu Gureli would stand in for resigning chairman Mehmet Ali Aydinlar until a new federation election is held on February 27.
The statement did not give a reason for the resignations but they came days after Turkish soccer clubs rejected a proposed regulatory reform designed to spare them from possible relegation over a match-fixing scandal in which several of the top clubs including champions Fenerbahce are implicated.
