Turkish club Karagümrük, despite failing to remain in the elite division, has decided to retain Serbian coach Aleksandar Stanojević for the upcoming season. Stanojević, despite not preventing relegation, earned the club's trust and has secured another year with the team.
It is unusual for a coach to remain with a club after relegation, but Stanojević has clearly impressed the Karagümrük management. The club's recent announcement states that Stanojević has signed a contract extension, binding him to the club through the 2026/2027 season.
"Our club has taken a significant step towards our goals by renewing the contract with head coach Aleksandar Stanojević for the 2026/2027 season. We hope this new contract will be successful for the club, and we wish the coach great success," the club's statement reads.
The decision to retain Stanojević signals the club's belief in his ability to help Karagümrük rise again in Turkish football.
