Trabzonspor manager resigns after Europa League defeat to Ferencváros
Summary

Trabzonspor's UEFA Europa League aspirations ended abruptly with a 4-0 loss to Ferencváros on August 28. Following the defeat, Trabzonspor manager Fatih Tekke announced his resignation on live broadcast, stating the result was unacceptable. The Turkish club, who already trailed by a goal from the first leg, were outplayed in Hungary with key players including Mo Salah, who was substituted in the 64th minute. Salah had joined Trabzonspor earlier this month amid hopes of European success but will miss out on further opportunities this season due to the elimination. Tekke's resignation marks a significant shift for the club following a disappointing campaign.
