Trabzonspor Names Thomas Reis as New Head Coach
Trabzonspor has appointed Thomas Reis as their new head coach, placing Nigerian forwards Paul Onuachu and Chibuike Nwaiwu under his guidance. The announcement came on Thursday following the resignation of Fatih Tekke earlier in September.
Reis, 52, previously played alongside Austin ‘Jay-Jay’ Okocha at Eintracht Frankfurt during the 1990s. He has returned to Turkish football after a successful tenure with Samsunspor from 2024 to 2026.
Reis left Samsunspor in February and briefly managed Bulgarian club Ludogorets in July. His appointment comes at a crucial time for Onuachu, who is looking to re-establish himself at Trabzonspor after joining the club permanently in 2025.
However, Onuachu is currently sidelined due to an injury sustained in a match against Gençlerbirliği, which has also excluded him from Nigeria's squad for the upcoming qualifiers against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau.
