After Recep Tayyip Erdogan Photo, Germany Captain Ilkay Gundogan Up For 'Special' Turkey Clash
Five years after a photo with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan sparked questions over his loyalty to Germany, Ilkay Gundogan will captain the national side during Saturday's international friendly against Turkey in Berlin. Gundogan, who has never faced Turkey despite making his Germany debut more than a decade ago, told AFP subsidiary SID "it will be a very special game for me -- no question about it". Named by former Germany coach Hansi Flick in September, Gundogan, 33, is the first footballer of Turkish descent to captain the four-time world champions.

Germany Seek Stability In Julian Nagelsmann's Home Debut
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann takes charge of his first match on home soil in Saturday's friendly against Turkey in Berlin, promising improvements in defence seven months from hosting Euro 2024. Nagelsmann, 36, was named Germany coach in September after former boss Hansi Flick became the first manager in the country's history to be sacked. Flick was let go with Germany administrators fearing a humiliation in the home tournament, the coach having overseen a group stage exit at the Qatar World Cup and a run of five winless games.
