Guus Hiddink made a winning debut as Turkey coach on Wednesday, leading his team to a 2-0 victory over Romania in an international friendly.
Emre Belozoglu scored from a penalty kick in the 82nd minute, and Arda Turan extended the lead four minutes later.
''We have to improve in certain aspects of the game, but the second goal was a beauty,'' Hiddink told Kanalturk television.
Hiddink was previously Russia's coach.
