Trabzonspor has successfully appointed 52-year-old Thomas Reis as their new head coach, aiming to replace Fatih Tekke following the team's elimination from the Europa League. Reis, who has been successful at Ludogorets Razgrad in the past, will take over a team that had previously achieved promotion to the Bundesliga, as well as a third-place finish and a UEFA Europa League qualification.
Reis's coaching style emphasizes defensive qualities and high pressing, which have proven effective in his previous roles. Trabzonspor, backed by Turkish financial services company Papara, had invested heavily in the summer transfer window, acquiring assets such as Mohamed Salah, Andre Onana, Ernest Muci and Fabinho. The club's main challenge lies in renewing its aging squad, as the team's average age is 28.
Reis's appointment is seen as a promising move for Trabzonspor, who will need to capitalize on their strong fan base and organizational background to achieve success in the Super Lig, the league they last won in 1976.
