Şenol GüneşT.C. (Turkish pronunciation:[ʃeˈnoɫˈɟyneʃ], born 1 June 1952) is a Turkishfootball manager and formerplayer who is currently the director of professional football forSüper Lig clubTrabzonspor. His most notable managerial achievements to date include coaching theTurkey national team to third place in the2002 FIFA World Cup and winning twoSüper Lig titles; both of them with Beşiktaş.[2] He is also noted for stints in his boyhood clubTrabzonspor. His playing career there saw the club win six of their seven Süper Lig titles.
Güneş began his amateur career at Erdoğdu Gençlik as a goalkeeper. Shortly after he was recruited for theTrabzonspor development team, and began playing for the senior team soon after. He played forTrabzonspor for twelve years between 1975 and 1987. During this period he won six league championships. In the1978–79 season, he set theSüper Lig clean sheet record by not conceding a single goal for 1,110 minutes.[3] He was part of the "Trabzonpor Efsanesi" (literally "The Legend of Trabzonspor", a name given by the Turkish press) along with other local players such asTurgay Semercioğlu,Necmi Perekli andAli Kemal Denizci. Güneş has 31 caps for theTurkey national team, being the captain in five games.
His managerial career started atTrabzonspor, where he was assistant manager before being promoted. He came close to winningSüper Lig in the1995–96 campaign after leading all season, but in the end his team came second. That year,Trabzonspor also played in the1996–97 UEFA Cup where they were knocked out bySchalke 04. He left the club soon after, and worked atAntalyaspor andSakaryaspor.
In 2000, he was hired to manage theTurkey national team. Turkey qualified for the2002 FIFA World Cup and finished third. Güneş won theUEFA Coach of the Year award for 2002. After theWorld Cup, he received many offers from Greece, Brazil and Spain, but he wanted to stay withTurkey. After the national team failed to qualify forUEFA Euro 2004, Güneş was sacked as manager.
He returned toTrabzonspor in January 2005, signing a three-and-a-half-year contract but left after finishing narrowly in second place. At this time, there were rumours that Güneş would be taking a coaching job inIran or in theUnited Arab Emirates.
On 8 December 2006,FC Seoul, one of the leading football clubs in theK League, announced their three-year contract with Güneş starting from 2007.[4]
Three years later, Güneş returned to his hometown as head coach ofTrabzonspor for the fourth time, replacingHugo Broos. In the2010-11 campaign, he again led the entire season with Trabzonspor, but finished second once again at the end of the season. Later, it was revealed the2011 Turkish sports corruption scandal was the main cause of this.[5][6][7][8][9][10] AfterTrabzonspor, he signed withBursaspor on a one-year contract. Bursaspor finished in sixth place in2014–15 Süper Lig and reached theTurkish Cup final that year. On 11 June 2015, he signed with a two-and-a-half year contract withBeşiktaş. Güneş ledBeşiktaş to their 14th title (and first since 2009) in 2016.[11] For Güneş, it was his first title as manager. He led them to their 15th and second title in a row in 2017.[12]
On 28 February 2019, it was announced that Güneş would take theTurkey national team managerial post for a second time on a four-year deal, 15 years after his last stint, effective from 1 June 2019.[13]He oversaw Turkey's 2–0 win over Albania in the openingUEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers.[14]
On 28 October 2022, Güneş joined Beşiktaş for his second stint, following the departure of French head coachValérien Ismaël.[15]
On 10 September 2024 Şenol Güneş signed a two-and-a-half year contract withTrabzonspor, becoming the club's head coach.[16][17]
