Baxter joined Genclerbirligi after leaving Kaizer Chiefs at the end of last season, but he lost his first two league games and that was enough for chairman Ilhan Cavcav, who showed him the door, at a club notorious for dismissing their managers on a whim.
“Turkish football can be do or die,” Ertugral told Phakaaathi on Tuesday.
“I think he chose the wrong club, known for not believing in their coaches and it is an unfortunate situation.”
“Stuart is a more tactical coach, a more relaxed coach, in Turkey everything can boil up very quickly, and the levels of patience can be very low.”
