Gençlerbirliği's decline from the top to the relegation zone
Gençlerbirliği, which started the Süper Lig as the leader, failed to win in their last 7 matches, dropping to 16th place and entering the relegation zone as of the 9th week. Their longing for a victory continued under the management of Bernd Storck, who took office after parting ways with head coach Metin Diyadin.
Gençlerbirliği, which started at the top of the Süper Lig with victories against Fenerbahçe and Göztepe, dropped to 16th place at the end of the 9th week and entered the relegation zone due to a 7-match winless streak.
Having made an ambitious entry into the season by defeating Fenerbahçe 2-1 and then rising to the lead with a victory over Göztepe, the capital representative experienced a serious decline starting from the 3rd week. Losing points against rivals such as Trabzonspor, Kasımpaşa, Galatasaray, and Konyaspor, the team anchored at the bottom of the league with the 8 points they collected.
Bernd Storck, who took office on October 9 following the resignation of head coach Metin Diyadin on October 6, could not end the team's winless streak either. Ranking among the teams that have scored the fewest goals and conceded the most in the league, Gençlerbirliği continues to experience stability problems in both defense and attack.
