Halilhodzic: "Going to Trabzonspor was a mistake"

Vahid Halilhodzic has stated that going to Trabzonspor was a mistake.

The Bosnian manager was sacked from by Trabzonspor following a poor start to the league campaign.

The Trabzonspor hierarchy expected better results following a summer of spending where no less than 22 players were transferred to the club.

Halilhodzic’s criticism of Oscar Cardozo during a pre-match press conference was the final straw which lead to the Black Sea side terminating his contract.

Speaking to Croatian media Halilhodzic said, “Going to Trabzonspor was a mistake.

“We could have caught up with the leading pack with just two or three wins but the President’s vision was different.

“I don’t think I will be without a job for long. I have already received offers from clubs and national teams.”

Halilhodzic’s second spell at Trabzonspor lasted a total of 116 days. The former Algeria national team coach won four, drew eight and lost two of the 14 games he managed.
