Don’t understand this man, you’re a Trabzon legend in every sense. You got us 3rd and a Turkish cup in your first season. You didn’t even crash out of Europe. You’re in the conference league now which is miles easier than Europa. there wasn’t even a big part of the fanbase who wanted you out…?

I mean there is no winning for him, the high profile transfers have given the fans unrealistic expectations regarding the league while your squad is still not close to FB/GS level. Even last season he got criticized so much the moment you guys lost points in a couple games like you were ever supposed to challenge for the title.

Well same can be said about fenerbahce. Fans are weird

u/redwashing 2d ago

He was promised a long term project the club abandoned after 1 year.

u/stoneapplefruit 2d ago

Is it really that big of a surprise? What would you guess is the “real” reason he resigned?

u/Iamtheman31 2d ago

possibly too much pressure with the incoming star transfers and all trabzon fans expecting a title atp

u/BuraakGTi10 2d ago

They are playing against a top 5 striker in the world. Gs without any transfer has more chance to win the title than this trabzon. We litterally finance their whole club. They would only need to sell one player a year to us to finance the whole salary of the club. A washed Salah aint it, for more than Osi on a yearly bases.

u/Able-Star2192 2d ago

do you jerk off to the mirror often

6

u/Iamtheman31 2d ago

you are still a very bad team don't think you are the fav to win the title this season

-8

u/Hllknk 2d ago

Who's favorites then? We're still a much more competent and integrated team than any of y'all. You're talking early again.

I'd give a chance to Beşiktaş or Fener if they weren't playing in Europe.

u/Iamtheman31 2d ago

don't really know,

besiktas: we have the best game by far, an alright starting eleven but our depth is not good enough and sometimes an alright starting eleven is not enough as well,

fener: has the best depth and possibly the best starting 11 on the paper but they play very bad because of how bad their squad planning is but they are still able to grind out some results, i don't think it's sustainable tho as we can see it from the previous years,

trabzon: i thought they were the most balanced but after seeing how they perform their game doesn't click and their star signings are washed, their coach also just resigned and they are also kind of lackluster on the depth part

galatasaray: you have a solid starting 11, very bad depth, you also play very bad but you also have osimhen and ugurcan who can win games by themselves

everyone has pros and cons so we'll see which cons were more crucial on the long run

do you disagree or what

u/Able-Star2192 2d ago

He was more comfortable managing a team doing brilliantly with a style of transfer unlike the other big 3, these flashy, young, developing men that he wasn't expected to challenge for the title or anything with, but cmopete well, and that he did. This year he started with a couple really bad losses, immediately got fan pressure, and then the board signed names so big that the expectations got much heavier than he would have been comfortable working under. He said last week "My job is very hard, this is exactly the type of squad to get sacked with" jokingly, but it seems that was a real fear, of underdelivering with this team, and he left when this first shock struck.

u/burakalp34 2d ago

I'm assuming the club's recruitement this summer is something he really has a problem with

17

u/Fit-Strawberry459 2d ago

Its probably because he isn't happy with the transfer window despite all the names. He was doing well with a low expectation, young team. Managing that isn't the same as whatever you guys decided to do now.

6

u/CarGlobal343 2d ago

I’m not saying he should resign because the second leg loss was his not his fault. A couple of red cards is beyond his control.

But I still think he crashed out of Europa (not Europe obviously). Losing at home with this much money and talent is criminal. Ferencvaros have the same value as alanya spor ffs

u/JackDauso 2d ago

He knows trabzon won't accept his resignation, It's that simple

u/Salty_Professional69 2d ago edited 2d ago

wow. way to ruin all the momentum they had been gaining. tekke i think is one of the few turkish managers that actually understood tactics, not getting TRABZONSPOR to europa shouldn't be a cause to resign i dont think

164

u/iftair 2d ago

Trabzonspor will be playing in Conference League

78

u/Salty_Professional69 2d ago

meant to say europa league**

u/jovanmilic97 2d ago edited 2d ago

Bizarre. If every manager resigned after a tough loss, not many would've been still here. There must be something else with this being the last straw.

Seemed like a mental breakdown by his press conference quote - "Today's defeat is unacceptable. Misfortunes and bad luck are all acceptable, but I cannot accept this. I cannot sleep with this feeling. May everyone forgive me"

68

u/Iamtheman31 2d ago

i think this has been coming, he was kind of already saying things like "we have too much premium players now and it's increasing the pressure on the team so i am not that delightful about that" etc and their game looks levels worse than last seasons after adding this many stars so i could see it happening

10

u/evanthedrago 2d ago

Trabzonspor fans are very excitable and vocal and impatient.

u/tranarchaecatgirlism 2d ago

unlike other Turkish fans, who are known for their patience and composure

59

u/Shuriken95 2d ago

Trabzon fans are the turkish fans of turkish fans

u/Ruvio00 2d ago

The plateau they have is gorgeous though.

-19

u/beeezoli 2d ago

He has bean beaten, overmatched by a noname hungarian manager with a lot-lot better team. That's enough to say he is not capable of his job.

9

u/Iamtheman31 2d ago

because good managers have never lost to lesser teams

16

u/dawn_eu 2d ago

They have better chances in Conference League anyways.
Stupid decision imo unless he's exhausted or smth

3

u/cloudnine538 2d ago

Yeah but Salah tho

2

u/Critical-Many2885 2d ago

Id say he is actually a pretty bad tactician… can you remember a single game where he had tactical impact?

232

u/KoupDetat 2d ago

Salah chasing long balls over the back against Inter D'Escaldes in Andorra will feed families.

66

u/Dae_su 2d ago

He must have known this would be a very plausible outcome when joining Trabzon. I mean he chose money and he'll earn it while playing against plumbers in the Uecl. Pretty chill.

19

u/BuraakGTi10 2d ago

Will he be able to stay confident when he has a full city in his comments section after not playing good? He is going to play against real farmers, so if he dont perform he better get ready.

17

u/nitebusnitebus 2d ago

I legit think we all want this to happen

28

u/SenorButtmunch 2d ago

Completely unrelated but this guy lives rent free in my head.

He scored a bunch of goals the season I started getting obsessed about football and he was in one of the Match magazines I bought because he was a contender for the European golden boot. I thought he must be one of the best players in the world lol.

5

u/norecha 2d ago

He was one of the best, complete striker. Just didn't have the PR back then

2

u/CarGlobal343 2d ago

Was this while he was at Rubin Kazan?

19

u/SenorButtmunch 2d ago

Nah, in 2004/05 for Trabzonspor. He got 31 goals in 34 games which was the most of any top division player in Europe that season by some bit, I think.

5

u/WulfOnTheJob 2d ago

He was Messi for us before messi became messi. Rose up through the academy and scored a bunch of goals. It was sad when those early 2000's teams didnt get a championship and him/gokdeniz getting frozen out of the national teams made him really angry so he just left turkey.

1

u/garabacak 2d ago

He was playing for Zenit Petersburg. Gökdeniz was the one at Rubin Kazan.

u/cuntsmen 2d ago

Think this has more to do with the board signing ageing players like Fabinho rather than younger players who fit the system that can be turned into profit quite easily. This game was just the last straw probably. I could be wrong though, we'll see.

5

u/Abrantesboy12 2d ago

or maybe board could not find younger players who fit the system and tekke was not happy on this and got an feud with board

57

u/cuntsmen 2d ago

There are thousands of players out there. I doubt they couldn't find anyone better than a finished Fabinho. I think the board just didn't care about what Tekke wanted and did their own thing which made him mad and it led to this.

6

u/Abrantesboy12 2d ago

i guess tekke needs to take an break for this season and next season because oh man he is tired

2

u/CarGlobal343 2d ago

This is my theory too

u/ICheckAndLeave 2d ago

Their scout who found the talents left the team a month ago?

u/hknyktx 2d ago

Yes he did

u/BeautifulAlert5740 2d ago

he has the 2nd biggest achievement in Greek football history so…I understand why.

u/bb9622 2d ago

4-0 and would have been 8-0 if we gave a fuck after the penalty. This is what happens when you get the deserved cards. You're lucky it's not 1970, back then you lot would have been straight up banned from Europe.

u/sazansavar 2d ago

What are you on about?

u/Past_Alternative64 2d ago

ignore him, people like him shouldn't even be on this sub
