Seven head coaches changed in Süper Lig in nine weeks

The first nine weeks of the 2026-2027 Trendyol Süper Lig season have come to an end. Poor results and various other reasons led many clubs to bid farewell to their head coaches. With this, the number of coaching changes in the league has risen to seven.

The most recent departure came from Fenerbahçe. After losing 2-1 away to Galatasaray, the yellow-navy club parted ways with İsmail Kartal, whom they had appointed at the start of the season, by mutual agreement.

The first change of this season was made by Gaziantep FK. After the third week, the club, which parted ways with Romanian coach Mirel Radoi, reached an agreement with Orhan Ak. Trabzonspor, Çorum FK, Samsunspor, Eyüpspor and Gençlerbirliği also changed their head coaches.

After failing to get the results they wanted with an ambitious squad under Fatih Tekke, Trabzonspor brought in German coach Thomas Reis. Eyüpspor reached an agreement with Mustafa Dalcı to replace Özhan Pulat after losing 8-0 to Fenerbahçe. Samsunspor did not continue with Thorsten Fink, who had also been at the club last season, and brought in Nenad Bjelica instead.

At Gençlerbirliği, Bernd Storck took over after Metin Diyadin resigned. Çorum FK parted ways with Uğur Uçar, who had started the season well, during the international break and appointed Burak Yılmaz as head coach.
