On the technical staff front, an interesting statistic prevails; While Okan Buruk and Fatih Tekke have been rivals 9 times so far, Buruk has won 8 of these matches. Trabzonspor, under the management of Fatih Tekke, wants to hold on to the race for the top by breaking this unfortunate cycle.

930-DAY EMBARGO AT PAPARA PARK
For the claret-blue team, the Galatasaray appointment means not only the race for the top, but also the end of the ongoing nightmare against their giant rivals.
