After parting ways with Fatih Tekke, Trabzonspor has accelerated its search for a new head coach. It has been reported that the claret-blue club has held an initial meeting with Arda Turan, while Fatih Terim has also begun to be mentioned in the rumor mill. Şenol Güneş, Abdullah Avcı, Antonio Conte, and Vitor Pereira are also among the names that have come up.
The activity that started at Trabzonspor following the defeat against Amedspor continues. In the 3rd week of the Super League, the claret-blue team, who were guests of Amedspor away, lost the match 2-1 after taking a 1-0 lead.
After the match, the Trabzonspor management and Head Coach Fatih Tekke parted ways by mutual agreement. Following this development, attention in the claret-blue team has turned to who the new head coach will be.
FIRST MEETING WITH ARDA TURAN
According to HT Spor's report, the first meeting for the head coach position at Trabzonspor was held with Arda Turan. It was reported that the management looks favorably upon the young coach who manages Shakhtar Donetsk, and bringing Turan to the helm is among the options.
SENOL GUNES AND ABDULLAH AVCI ALSO ON THE LIST
The names on the claret-blue team's agenda are not limited to Arda Turan. It was stated that Senol Gunes and Abdullah Avci, who previously worked at Trabzonspor, are also among the candidates. It was noted that the management is evaluating domestic and foreign options together.
ANTONIO CONTE AND VITOR PEREIRA CLAIM
Among the foreign head coach candidates, there are notable names. While Antonio Conte's name has come to the fore, it is stated that the experienced coach's high cost is a significant question mark. It was also claimed that Vitor Pereira, one of Fenerbahce's former head coaches, is among the foreign candidates being evaluated.
FATIH TERIM BOMBSHELL
One of the most striking claims in the head coach search involves Fatih Terim. It was stated that the name of the former head coach of Galatasaray and the National Team has begun to be discussed in Trabzonspor circles. It was reported that because there are figures close to Terim within the management, the experienced coach is also being considered among the options. However, there has been no statement yet regarding any official meeting or agreement with Fatih Terim.
