The Turkish club initially refused Tekke's resignation after they were eliminated from the Europa League play-offs by Ferencvaros, losing the two-legged tie 5-0 on aggregate. The decision to accept Tekke's resignation came after discussions with the 48-year-old coach, who assured Trabzonspor that he would never harm the club's interests. Tekke's tenure saw the club finish third in the Turkish Super Lig and secure a Turkish Cup victory, marking significant achievements during his 18-month tenure. The club emphasized that Tekke's departure was in the best long-term interests of the team.",
