Background of the Search for a Head Coach
Under the management of Hüseyin Çimşir, who was brought in temporarily following Fatih Tekke's departure, Trabzonspor had managed to defeat Gençlerbirliği 5-0 in their first match.
However, the Black Sea team's 1-0 defeat to Konyaspor in their second match played a significant role in accelerating the board of directors' search for a permanent head coach.
Time is Running Out for the Galatasaray Match
The claret-blue management aims to reach an agreement with a new head coach before the tough Galatasaray encounter to be played in Trabzon next Saturday.
President Ertuğrul Doğan is continuing his efforts to ensure that the new coach is not left alone in this critical match and takes his place on the bench.
First Contact and Review with Stefano Pioli
It is among the information obtained that the management first contacted Stefano Pioli in this direction and made an official offer to the experienced manager.
It was stated that the Italian coach watched Trabzonspor's recent match against Konyaspor on television and made evaluations to the claret-blue executives regarding the team's shortcomings.
Alternative Plan Şenol Güneş
It was reported that President Ertuğrul Doğan is seeking common ground for an agreement with Stefano Pioli and that negotiations between the parties are ongoing.
It is stated that if an agreement cannot be reached with Pioli, experienced head coach Şenol Güneş is planned to be brought into office.
