Thomas Reis Keeps Winning with Trabzonspor in Europe Too

Trabzonspor's new head coach Thomas Reis became the man who won both of his first two European cup matches in charge. With this, he holds the title of the first coach since Şota Arveladze to start Trabzonspor's European campaign so successfully.

The German coach, in his post-match statement, congratulated his team and said his players struggled to adapt to the pitch during the first half hour, but afterwards they delivered the performance he wanted. Reis also noted that it was a completely new midfield look in the match.

Reis said the high number of quality players in the squad makes it difficult to choose. He stated that the players who do not find a place on the pitch are unhappy, but the spirit of unity within the team has been preserved. The coach emphasized that their only focus right now is the league match to be played on Monday.

Trabzonspor appears to be enjoying a successful run under Reis. The German coach has drawn attention by winning all five matches he has played since taking over on September 17. In the first match, Trabzonspor beat Galatasaray 4-0, followed by a 3-0 win over Samsunspor, a 4-2 win over KuPS, and a 2-0 win over Beşiktaş. Most recently, Hearts left Trabzonspor's ground defeated rather than with a 0-0 draw.
