Samsunspor parts ways with head coach Thomas Reis

German coach Thomas Reis, who was appointed at the beginning of the 2024/2025 season, made a significant contribution to Samsunspor's rise to third place in the league. In a statement released by the management, it was noted that the ranking achieved in the first year of Reis's tenure holds an important place in club history, and that the successful coach brought a new breath of life to the team with his stability and vision.

It was emphasized that the leadership Reis displayed, particularly during the UEFA Conference League journey, played a critical role in the club's sporting achievements. Thanks were extended to Reis and his technical staff for their contributions, which brought significant development to the team.

Samsunspor's farewell message included the following: “We thank him for the value and effort he added to our club and wish him success in the next chapter of his career. Danke, Reis!”

Thomas Reis's departure from his post at Samsunspor has caused a major stir among fans. Support posts for the German coach on social media, in particular, drew attention.

The shared message also stated that Reis was unfairly declared a “scapegoat” in the public eye.

While many fans emphasized that what Thomas Reis brought to the team should not be forgotten, the separation has brought about discussions within the club and the community.

The full text of the fan message was shared as follows:

“On behalf of Samsunspor Germany, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

You were treated unfairly and were ultimately declared a scapegoat. But we know what you really did for our club. Thank you for making us dream again. You turned our dreams into reality and carried us to Europe.

We will always be grateful to you for this.

You will always remain a part of our history, but above all, a part of our hearts.

With respect and gratitude…

Samsunspor Germany”

The Samsunspor management will begin its search for a new head coach in the coming days.
