Trabzonspor has decided to keep head coach Fatih Tekke despite his offer to resign after the team's Europa League exit. The Turkish club rejected Tekke's offer on Friday, citing the "intense emotional impact" of the 4-0 loss to Ferencvaros, which resulted in a 5-0 aggregate defeat.

Tekke, who guided Trabzonspor to a third-place finish in the Turkish Super Lig last season, will continue to lead the team. The club is now turning its attention to the Europa Conference League, where they will soon learn their league-phase opponents. Trabzonspor has also strengthened its squad with several high-profile signings during the summer transfer window.

One of these new additions, Salah, has already made a significant impact. He scored twice in Trabzonspor's recent 2-1 victory over Istanbul Basaksehir, showcasing the team's potential despite the European setback. The club aims to build on this performance as they navigate the upcoming competitions.
