Fatih Tekke miracle in Trabzonspor! He brought the team back to its feet

Trabzonspor's legendary goalscorer Fatih Tekke is likely to go down in the club's history as a coach. So much so that the Bordeaux-Blues, who have always had troubled periods after the championship and have made dozens of transfers and changed technical staff, found the stability they were looking for with Tekke.

Fatih Tekke miracle in Trabzonspor! He brought the team back to its feet

Fatih Tekke, one of the goalscorers who made Trabzonspor's history, is likely to become a legend as a coach as well. So much so that the Bordeaux-Blues, who have always had troubled times after the championship and have made dozens of transfers and changed technical staff, found the stability they were looking for with Tekke. Taking over the team just 5 points above the relegation zone in March of last season, Fatih Tekke ended the away record as soon as he arrived and led Trabzonspor to their first victory against Başakşehir after a nightmare away season.

BEATING ARCH RIVALSTrabzonspor, who played 10 away matches in the league last season and this season under coach Fatih Tekke, won 6 of them. They lost only to Fenerbahçe in 2 matches in Kadıköy. The other 2 matches ended in a draw. Having collected 20 points in 9 weeks and leaving behind high-cost squads like Beşiktaş and Fenerbahçe, the Storm under Tekke are in 2nd place, 5 points behind leader Galatasaray. Tekke is enjoying the best period of his career with an average of 2.22 points.

3-MATCH STREAKSThe most important thing is that Trabzonspor is making this rise with the youngest team in the league. With an average age of 24.9, the squad is both competing and building the skeleton of the future. While experienced names like Onuachu, Savic and Onana are leading the way, youngsters like Pina, Batagov, Oulai, Augusto and Olaigbe are making a difference with their performances. Many European clubs have already started to scrutinize Trabzonspor players. The Storm, who are on a 3-game streak again as they did at the beginning of the season, aim to beat Eyüpspor this week and go into Galatasaray away with great motivation.
