  • Trabzonspor is seeking a new head coach after ending its relationship with Fatih Tekke.
  • President Ertuğrul Doğan has personally contacted Vitor Pereira, who previously coached Fenerbahçe during two spells.
  • The club expects to announce its new coach during the week, or by the weekend at the latest.

Trabzonspor has accelerated its search for a new head coach, and club president Ertuğrul Doğan has opened talks with Vitor Pereira, according to Fanatik.

The club parted ways with Fatih Tekke and won its first match afterward 5-0 under Hüseyin Cimşir. Despite that result, Trabzonspor has not changed its plans for the coaching position.

The Black Sea club is working to appoint a new coach soon. As Doğan had previously indicated, foreign coaches remain the priority. Pereira sits at the top of a broad candidate list because of his familiarity with Turkish football.

The Portuguese coach previously managed Fenerbahçe in two separate spells. Doğan has contacted Pereira personally, while Trabzonspor continues discussions with other foreign candidates. The club wants to complete the process quickly if conditions for Pereira’s appointment take shape.

Trabzonspor expects to clarify its new coaching appointment during the week, and no later than the end of the weekend.
