Head coach Abdullah Avcı may make a surprise return at the helm of a team after being away from the fields for nearly a year. Avcı, who could experience a first in his 23-year career, has attracted interest from abroad. It has been reported that the Egyptian team Al-Ahly is pursuing Abdullah Avcı. If an agreement is reached, Avcı will be working abroad for the first time in his 25-year career.
After parting ways with Trabzonspor in August 2024, a surprising claim has emerged for Abdullah Avcı, who has not managed a team since then. The 62-year-old experienced coach may work abroad for the first time in his 23-year career.
ON AL-AHLY'S AGENDA
The Egyptian team Al-Ahly parted ways with Spanish coach Jose Riveiro following poor results in the league. According to Kooora's report, the club has shortlisted three names in its search for a new head coach. Among the candidates are Abdullah Avcı, Rui Vitoria, and Ramon Diaz.
DECISION THIS WEEK
Al-Ahly's management is expected to announce their new coach within this week. The management, which wants to entrust the team to a foreign coach again, will make its final decision shortly.
TREZEGUET DETAIL
Mahmoud Trezeguet, who is a former student of Avcı from Trabzonspor, is currently wearing the Al-Ahly jersey. This situation could facilitate the adaptation process if Avcı takes over.
AVCI'S CUP RECORD
Abdullah Avcı, who started his coaching career in 2002 with the Istanbulspor U21 team, achieved his greatest successes at the club level with Trabzonspor. With the burgundy-blue team, he won the Süper Lig championship in the 2021-22 season and the Türkiye Süper Kupası in the 2020-21 and 2022-23 seasons.
COULD BE A FIRST IN HIS HISTORY
If an agreement is reached, Abdullah Avcı will manage a team abroad for the first time in his career. Al-Ahly is currently in 10th place in the league with 9 points from 6 matches.
