, Brutal football coach who SLAPS youth team players in horrific video claims hes copying Man Utd legend Alex Ferguson

BRUTAL football coach Halit Kurt SLAPPED his youth team players around the face – and then claimed he was copying Manchester United legend Alex Ferguson.

In the horrific video Kurt walks around the dressing room slapping every kid in the Kayseri Meysuspor team in Turkey.

Halit Kurt smacks all his players around the face during the shocking half-time team talk

He told his clearly frightened players after a bad first half: I will kill you! What a disgrace!

The Turkish sports ministry is investigating – with Kurt still in a coaching role at the club THREE YEARS after the incident, although the video only emerged on social media this week.

Kurt insisted that beating his young players was normal practice in football and used by Sir Alex and famous Turkish manager Fatih Terim.

He believes it gives them extra motivation to win matches.

But to compare it to the managerial style of Ferguson was beyond a joke.

Sir Alex did manage to kick a football boot at David Beckham’s head once.

But that was an accident.

It was more a case of what the Scot did mentally and verbally than ever using his physicality on a player.

However, hot-tempered coach Kurt reckons his style gets results.

Kayseri were losing 3-1 at half-time when an angry Kurt erupted.

Kurt said: “Not only do I use this method, it was widely used by previous generations. All of us know that Alex Ferguson slapped David Beckham.

“Fatih Terim is also said to beat players from time to time.

I love my players. We have a parent-child relationship. As for the video that was shared I should say that the events in a locker room should not become the property of the public, as with a married couples actions in a bedroom.”

Kurt revealed late members of his family was abused after the video emerged this week.

He said: “There are also those who cursed my dead mother.I have identified them, I will initiate the necessary legal process.

“Just because I’m doing that doesn’t give anyone the right to swear at me.

Kurt has come in for some huge criticism since the video emerged.

It has sparked a public outcry in Turkey.

The incident took place in the 2016/17 season.

Kurt is still managing at Kayseri and so far no action has been taken against him by Turkish football authorities.
