Mohamed Salah has reaffirmed his commitment to Trabzonspor following the club's elimination from the Europa League playoffs. According to a report by Türkiye Today, the star forward took to his X account this week to deliver a message of assurance to the fans.
Trabzonspor's European journey ended with a 4-0 away defeat to Ferencvaros, resulting in a 5-0 aggregate loss. After losing the first leg 1-0 at home, the team finished the second match with nine men following two red cards. Immediately after the final whistle, head coach Fatih Tekke offered his resignation, but the club's board rejected it. Tekke will remain in charge for the upcoming Super Lig fixture against Amedspor.
