President Yüksel Yıldırım emphasized that Eroğlu had two championships and a play-off final with modest budgets and cadres composed of only Turkish players during his 10-year Altınordu tenure, and that the club obtained very important transfer revenues, adding, “Born and grown in Germany, work discipline and We are embarking on a two-year journey with Eroğlu, who always prioritizes work and has a different coaching personality. I emphasize two years, because at the end of the season we will become champions and continue to be together. Eroğlu, in order to show his confidence in the team and himself, has already given 1 plus year. He asked for a 1-year contract. A brand new era is starting in Samsunspor. The importance of this signature, which we will put tomorrow, will become even more important with the championship that will be crowned at the end of the season,” he said.
Hüseyin Eroğlu also thanked Yüksel Yıldırım and Veysel Bilen for the trust placed in him, saying, “Samsunspor is a very important asset of Turkish football. It is a real pride to take part in such a great community. We started all over again on Monday and revealed all our plans for the championship. For me, development, team engineering and the system always come first. In our meeting with our President Yıldırım, we saw that we both looked in the same direction and experienced the same excitement. “The change he will initiate will lead us to the championship. But the most important thing is that we will make a difference and achieve a sustainable success. We are starting to walk on the road. And we believe wholeheartedly that we will win in the end,” he said.
The contract will be signed on Monday, September 26 in Samsun, and Eroğlu will start his first training session on Tuesday at the head of the team.
