TransferRoom - Customer Stories

Samsunspor’s rise from relegation danger to European contention in the Turkish Süper Lig has been driven by the appointment of Head Coach Thomas Reis, who was discovered through TransferRoom’s CoachFinder tool. With access to in-depth data on over 5,000 coaching profiles, the club identified Reis as the perfect fit based on their tactical needs and playing style.

“CoachFinder provided a shortlist of candidates that aligned with our style,” says Director of Football Fuat Capa. “After evaluating options, we knew Reis was the right choice.” The tool also ensures Samsunspor are prepared for the future, should a new Head Coach be needed further down the line, with a ready-made shortlist for succession planning.

By leveraging TransferRoom’s innovative platform and global transfer marketplace, Samsunspor secured the right leader and gained a strategic advantage in long-term squad development and managerial appointments.
