Trabzonspor continues search for new manager

Overview

Trabzonspor has officially parted ways with technical director Fatih Tekke following a 2-1 defeat against Amed Sportif Faaliyetler in the Trendyol Süper Lig. This decision concludes a period of instability that began after the club’s elimination from the UEFA Europa League play-off round by Ferencvaros, where they suffered a 5-0 aggregate loss.

While the Trabzonspor Board of Directors had previously rejected Tekke’s resignation attempt following the Ferencvaros loss, the subsequent defeat to Amedspor led to a mutual agreement to end his tenure. During his approximately 18-month term, Tekke managed 62 official matches, recording 35 wins, 14 draws, and 13 losses, which included winning the Turkish Cup during the 2025-26 season. Despite high-profile summer signings such as Mohamed Salah and Fabinho, the team struggled to meet expectations.

Hüseyin Çimşir has been appointed as interim manager while the club searches for a permanent successor. Club President Ertuğrul Doğan stated that the search is focused on finding a candidate capable of managing a high-caliber squad, with management leaning toward a foreign manager. Doğan has denied formal negotiations with rumored candidates such as Fatih Terim, Şenol Güneş, or Antonio Conte.

Recent speculation regarding Pep Guardiola has been dismissed by his manager, who stated the Spanish coach has no plans to manage any club or national team during the current season. Other names linked to the position include Vitor Pereira, Sergio Conceição, Arda Turan, Ernesto Valverde, and Steven Gerrard. Potential candidates such as Marcelino and Antonio Conte may face hurdles due to significant salary demands.
