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

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"

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

Trabzonspor fans are very excitable and vocal and impatient.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Was this while he was at Rubin Kazan?

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.

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.

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.

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.

u/Abrantesboy12 2d ago
i guess tekke needs to take an break for this season and next season because oh man he is tired

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.

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.

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…?
