Thomas Reis: I am happy at Trabzonspor, our goals are big

Trabzonspor head coach Thomas Reis said in an interview with the club's magazine that he is aware of the expectations placed on the team and on him. The German coach said the goals are big and that the squad includes important players such as Salah, Fabinho, Onana and Savic. He also stressed that very high-quality Turkish players are part of the team.

Reis said he finds the pressure on him normal and that he enjoys it. He said that seeing supporters leave the stadium happy after a match is the best thing for him. Reminding that he has not yet lost a match at Trabzonspor, the coach said he does not forget the matches he has lost, that he learns lessons from them, and that he is thinking about whether to change the squad.

The head coach described his first reaction when the call from Trabzonspor came as very excited. Reis said the offer made him proud and expressed his great happiness at being at Trabzonspor right now.

Reis said he does not describe a difficult situation as difficult but as a special one, and that he likes jobs that are not easy. He said his style is built on discipline and freedom, and that he lets his players play freely on the pitch as long as they follow the rules.

Reis also talked about his matchday rituals and his preference for hooded sweatshirts. He said he is pleased that the athletic performance coach, who is from Trabzon, introduces the local flavors, and he said he finds the Turkish people kind and helpful. He said he sees Turkey as his second homeland.
