Trabzonspor has officially announced that former manager Hüseyin Çimşir will prepare the team for their Süper Lig match against Gençlerbirliği. The club confirmed on September 1, 2026, that the search for a new permanent head coach is ongoing.
In a statement released by the club, it was declared: "Takımımızı 6 Eylül Pazar günü oynayacağımız Gençlerbirliği karşılaşmasına eski teknik direktörlerimizden Hüseyin Çimşir hazırlayacaktır." This news, reported by Hürriyet Spor, reveals Trabzonspor's temporary solution for the managerial position. The club currently sits 11th in the Süper Lig standings. With one win, one draw, and one loss from their first three matches, they have accumulated 4 points for a mid-table start to the season.
Who is Hüseyin Çimşir?
Hüseyin Çimşir is a former Trabzonspor manager with a significant place in the club's history. Having previously led the bordo-mavili side, Çimşir now takes on the role on an interim basis. The club's statement indicates this appointment is a one-match solution. Çimşir's duty will be limited to the Gençlerbirliği fixture on September 6.
The Trabzonspor board continues its search for a long-term head coach. During this process, Çimşir has been tasked with preparing the team for the upcoming match. The team's league position is one factor influencing this decision. Having scored and conceded 4 goals each for a zero goal difference, Trabzonspor trails league leaders Galatasaray by 3 points.
What is the team's current league status?
Trabzonspor has not made a stable start to the 2026-2027 Süper Lig season. Results from the first three weeks (LWD) have kept the team in the middle of the table. Their defensive and offensive balance appears unsettled. The team's detailed performance can be tracked on our stats page.
The 11th place in the league serves as an early warning for Trabzonspor. The 3-point gap to the top is not yet an insurmountable distance. However, the team needs to quickly improve its form. Securing more effective results, especially at home, is vital for their seasonal objectives. The current Süper Lig standings can be viewed on our standings page.
