Story summary

Mohamed Salah, the former Liverpool star, now has a new coach at his current club Trabzonspor in Turkey. On Thursday, the Turkish team hired Thomas Reis, who previously coached at Bulgarian club Ludogorets and is known for taking an unheralded team to third place in the Turkish league two seasons ago. Reis cited the opportunity to work with Salah as a significant factor in his decision.

Salah joined Trabzonspor this season after nine years at Liverpool, mostly working under German coach Jürgen Klopp. The Egyptian forward has already scored four goals in five league games for his new team. Reis signed a two-year contract with Trabzonspor and expressed his intention to give Salah "freedom in attack," highlighting the importance of having such a high-profile player on his roster.

The move comes after Fatih Tekke resigned as coach following Trabzonspor's elimination from the Europa League. Reis praised the intensity of Turkish football, noting that he is familiar with the league and its challenges.
