Fatih Tekke, who parted ways with the club following the defeat in the Amedspor away match, had managed 48 league games after signing a 4.5-year contract with the burgundy-blue team on March 11, 2025.

Under Tekke's management, the Black Sea team achieved 26 wins, 14 draws, and 8 losses, securing a points average of 1.91.

Trabzonspor announced that former manager Hüseyin Çimşir will prepare the team for the Gençlerbirliği match.

The search for a new manager has officially begun at the burgundy-blue club.
