Galatasaray, under the leadership of technical director Okan Buruk, continues its championship race in the Super League. Okan Buruk, who played football for many years and achieved great success at Galatasaray where he grew up, was appointed as the coach at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season. Buruk, who quickly recovered the Yellow-Reds who finished the 2021-2022 season in 13th place showing their worst performance in history, experienced the joy of winning the championship in his first season. Okan Buruk achieved significant success by leading his team to the top of Galatasaray in his second term.

Galatasaray also managed a valuable winning streak by winning the last nine games of the league. In big games, Galatasaray, under the leadership of Coach Okan Buruk, does not make mistakes. Galatasaray is attracting attention with its successful performance in big games under the guidance of Coach Okan Buruk. Under the guidance of an experienced coach, the yellow-red team played the 11th game against Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Trabzonspor. Galatasaray won eight of these competitions, drew in two, and lost only one. „Cimbom,“ under the leadership of Okan Buruk, secured three wins in the fourth Beşiktaş derby. The expected contribution from transfers did not materialize. Galatasaray did not particularly benefit from its profit transfers in this season. The yellow-red club added Hakim Ziyech, Wilfried Zaha, Tanguy Ndombele, Tete, Davinson Sanchez, Kerem Demirbay, Halil Dervişoğlu, Angelino, and Cedric Bakambu to its team at the beginning of the season. Galatasaray supplemented the team in the mid-season transfer with Serge Aurier, Carlos Vinicius, and Derrick Köhn. „Cimbom“ could not achieve the desired contribution from the valuable transfers added to the team at the beginning of the season, except for Sanchez and Kerem Demirbay. Zaha, who played at the highest level in the Premier League for many years, played 35 official games for Galatasaray. Zaha, who received a significant break and scored a total of 10 goals, could not meet expectations due to his inconsistency and performance in the game. Hakim Ziyech, who played in 14 official matches with the yellow-red jersey, 9 in the Super League and 5 in the UEFA Champions League, contributed to 4 goals. The Moroccan star, who was injured for about three months each time, missed a total of 24 official games. Tanguy Ndombele, one of the midfielders, played a total of 644 minutes in 24 official matches. The French footballer, who played 26 minutes per game, could not contribute to the result. The Brazilian winger Tete had a chance in 37 official matches. Although the young footballer scored three goals, he could not deliver an effective performance. Galatasaray, not finding success with Halil, Angelino, and Bakambu, parted ways with these players in the mid-season transfer. While Köhn, who was put in their place, was just added to the squad, Vinicius, who played for a short time, and Serge Aurier, who could not play due to injury, did not make a contribution. Buruk assigned different missions to Barış Alper and Berkan and achieved results. The experienced coach increased efficiency by deploying some footballers outside their original positions. Okan Buruk tried to use the offensive player Barış Alper Yılmaz in all positions except goalkeeper, center-back, and defensive midfielder this season. Barış Alper showed a successful performance with his physique, strength, athleticism, endurance, and speed. Okan Buruk, who played the midfielder Berkan Kutlu, who returned from Genoa as a full-back, where he was loaned at the beginning of the season, made a contribution in the absence of Köhn and Aurier. He broke records and made history. Galatasaray achieved the longest winning streak in the history of the Super League under the guidance of Okan Buruk.
