· Sports · BBC Sport
Turkish football club Trabzonspor has officially accepted the resignation of head coach Fatih Tekke following a mutual agreement. The departure comes after the club was eliminated from the Europa League play-off round with a 5-0 aggregate loss to Hungarian side Ferencvaros. Although the club initially rejected Tekke's resignation last Friday, citing the emotional impact of the defeat, both parties have now decided to move in a new direction. During his 18-month tenure, Tekke led the team to a third-place league finish and secured the Turkish Cup. The club stated that the decision was made to prioritize long-term objectives and the best interests of the organization.
