Pep Guardiola denies coaching rumors after Trabzonspor managerial change

Trabzonspor has parted ways with head coach Fatih Tekke following a disappointing start to the season, which included an early elimination from the Europa League playoffs by Ferencvaros and a subsequent demotion to the Conference League. The club had previously made significant roster investments during the summer transfer window, securing notable players such as Mohamed Salah and Fabinho.

Following the vacancy in the managerial position, Spanish media reports suggested the club had offered Pep Guardiola a salary of 13 million euros to take charge of the team. However, representatives for the former Manchester City manager swiftly dismissed these claims in comments to the publication 'As'. They clarified that Guardiola has no intention of coaching any club or national team for the remainder of the current season, effectively ending speculation regarding his immediate future in the Turkish Super Lig.
