Former head coach of the Turkish national team, Senol Gunes, returned to his old club and became the head coach of Turkey's "Trabzonspor" team for the third time. Gunes signed a three-year contract with the team.
Gunes will replace Ziya Dogan, who resigned in November. "At first, I was against this job. I had many doubts because I didn't really want to coach a club from Turkey. However, the club's board convinced me a lot and with the pressure from the media and the public, they made me change my mind."
Currently, "Trabzonspor" team is in 3rd place in the Turkish championship, which has just started, and is 6 points behind the leader.
This club is not entirely new to S. Gunes - he played in it from 1972-87, and coached it in 1987-88 and 1992-96. In the 1994/95 season, the coach led the team to the Turkish Cup. In 2002, the team led by this coach, the Turkish national team, came in 3rd place in the World Cup.
