Genclerbirligi Dismisses Coach Demirel for a Second Time
Genclerbirligi, a prominent turkish first-division club, has made a remarkable decision by terminating the contract of coach Volkan Demirel for the second time during the 2025-2026 season. This unprecedented action marks Demirel’s second departure from the club within a single season. Demirel’s initial appointment occurred in November 2025, tasked with improving the team’s performance.
Over six matches, the team achieved three draws and three losses, failing to secure a victory. Despite this initial outcome, Genclerbirligi opted to rehire Demirel. However, the second period of his tenure proved equally unsuccessful.
In nine matches, the team recorded only two wins and one draw, resulting in six defeats. This repeated dismissal has created a unique situation within the same league. Volkan Demirel’s dual role as coach for Genclerbirligi has become a notable event in Turkish Super League history, highlighting a challenging period for the club’s managerial strategy.
The club has not yet announced a replacement for Demirel.
