”The club has outstanding infrastructure and everything we need to achieve our ambitions. We have an excellent training facility, an Academy that is already producing players capable of performing in a competitive first team and an exceptional group of support staff.
”There is already so much talent within our squad and I am excited to work with the players to support them to fulfil their immense potential.

SALAH UNDERGOES MEDICAL AS NO.61 SHIRT EXPLAINED
Earlier today, a social media post from Trabzonspor showed Mo Salah wearing a Trabzonspor shirt with the caption: ”Salah mode: ON”.
On the back of the shirt, Salah wore the No. 61 rather than the usual No. 11 shirt he wore for years at Liverpool, or the No. 10 he regularly dons for the Egyptian national team.
The choice was no coincidence. Trabzon’s area code, written on vehicle number plates in Turkey, is 61, and it has become a symbol of the city in north-eastern Turkey.
”When we are 6-0 ahead, they want us to concede a goal so the match can finish 6-1,” one fan told Copa 90.
”People pay extra to get a phone number that starts or ends with a 61,” said another.
