Trabzonspor have launched their search for a new manager and have placed Abdullah Avcı at the top of their shortlist. The club's management turned to a figure familiar with the city and its community following the departure of Fatih Tekke.
According to information reported by Hürriyet Spor, the Trabzonspor board issued a statement on the matter. The management stated, "The Trabzonspor management has turned to a name who knows the city and the community well, as the new Süper Lig season has started and its third week has passed." It was also announced in the same statement that the team would be temporarily left under the responsibility of former manager Hüseyin Çimşir.

The management said, "Our former manager Hüseyin Çimşir will prepare our team for the Gençlerbirliği match we will play on Sunday, 6 September." This decision will be valid until a permanent manager is appointed. Çimşir is an experienced name who has also served as manager for the club in past periods.
