Will Laurent Blanc return to service soon? Almost a year ago, the “President” was ousted from his post as coach of Al-Ittihad, the day after a 0-2 defeat against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.
Despite a remarkable previous season (2024-2025), where he achieved the championship and King’s Cup double, the Saudi management chose to end his contract prematurely. Since then, the Cévennes coach has not found a position.
Open to a new challenge, Laurent Blanc has seen his name circulating in recent days in Turkey, on the side of Trabzonspor, which separated at the beginning of September from its coach Fatih Tekke. This paid for the elimination of the club in the Europa League play-offs. To replace him, the decision-makers of Trabzon have chosen to entrust control of the team to Huseyin Cimsir, who will play temporary role while awaiting the arrival of a renowned coach.
“He’s exactly the kind of coach who would be a perfect fit for Trabzonspor”
From then on, some followers of the Turkish club proposed the profile of Laurent Blanc on X. “Laurent Blanc is currently free. He’s exactly the kind of quality, weighty coach who would be a great fit for Trabzonspor.”wrote an Internet user on the social network. It remains to be seen what the former coach of the Blues as well as the club’s leaders think.
As a reminder, Trabzonspor had a big transfer window this summer, attracting internationally renowned players, like Mohamed Salah. The former Liverpool star was notably joined by the ex-Monegasque Fabinho.
