Turkey have suffered a dismal campaign at Euro 2016, losing to both Spain and Croatia, and the manager has now hit out at his own players and his country's media

Turkey coach Fatih Terim appeared to question the attitude of his players in a remarkable rant aimed at his critics ahead of his side's Euro 2016 clash with Czech Republic.

Back-to-back defeats to Spain and Croatia, rumours about discontent within the squad and heavy criticism over the form of captain Arda Turan have all contributed to a dismal campaign in France so far for Terim's side.

They face Czech Republic in Lens on Tuesday knowing that only a victory will keep alive their hopes of reaching the last 16 as one of the best third-placed sides in the group stage.
