Trabzonspor is seeking to appoint a new head coach in the coming period, following the dismissal of Fatih Tekke due to the Turkish team's poor results at the start of this season.
Trabzonspor's management decided to part ways with Fatih Tekke after the team's disappointing start this season, including a 2-1 loss to Amiens Sportif last Monday in the third round of the Turkish league.
Despite significant reinforcements made by Trabzonspor this summer, highlighted by signing Mohamed Salah alongside Fabinho, the team's performance has not improved.
According to "Haberexpres," Trabzonspor's management is seriously considering hiring former Barcelona and Atlético Madrid star Arda Turan as the team's new coach in the near future.

The source added that Turan rejected Trabzonspor's offer, stating he currently prefers to focus on his club Shakhtar Donetsk.
Turan achieved excellent results with Shakhtar, leading his team to win the Ukrainian League during the 2025/2026 season.
The source clarified that Turan is hesitant about leaving Shakhtar, especially since the team will participate in the UEFA Champions League this season, prompting the former midfielder to decline Trabzonspor's offer.
The source further noted that Trabzonspor's management considered other options, such as Şenol Güneş, one of the Turkish club's legends, but the team's administration prefers hiring a foreign coach.
Antonio Conte is considered the most prominent name discussed within Trabzonspor's management, but the club's administration rules out signing the Italian coach due to his high salary demands.
