Last Bursaspor Coachs
The latest recorded coaching appointment is Adem Çağlayan, who began his Bursaspor spell on 1 March 2025. The coaching record has no end date for that appointment, yet it does not establish a current holder, so the role is described neutrally. Pablo Martín Batalla preceded him from 1 July 2024 to 1 March 2025. Earlier entries show Ümit Şengül from January to April 2024, following Murat Sözkesen from September 2023 to January 2024 and Salih Yalçın Gündüz from July to September 2023.

Transfers Synthesis
The recorded movement presents a mixed reshaping of Bursaspor’s playing group. Arrivals came through several mechanisms: free-agent recruitment, conventional transfers and returns from loan, with players joining from Turkish clubs as well as Celtic, Stoke City, Legia Warszawa, Bastia and Alverca. Departures likewise combine transfers, free-agent exits and loans, with Nilüfer Belediye appearing in both the return and departure records. The movement is concentrated around the summer 2025 and 2026 windows, while additional activity is logged during January and February 2026. The named entries show circulation across Bursa and other Turkish clubs, plus a small international dimension. They describe the club’s recorded squad movement during the period, but they are not a complete account of every transaction, so the pattern is best understood as an indicative snapshot rather than a definitive net total.
Leagues Bursaspor has participated in
Bursaspor’s recent recorded competition activity includes 2. Lig and Türkiye Kupası, both listed through 2025. The 2. Lig is a league competition, while the Türkiye Kupası is a cup. A 2024 entry records participation in 3. Lig - Group 1, but it is historical rather than recent. Earlier league records cover the Süper Lig from 2011 to 2018 and the 1. Lig from 2019 to 2021. Other historical entries include the Super Cup in 2015, the UEFA Europa League in 2014 and club friendlies through 2023. Current
More about Bursaspor
Bursaspor, formally Bursaspor Kulübü Derneği, is the football club of Bursa, Turkey, founded in 1963. Its green-and-white identity reflects the surrounding fertile plains and valleys and the snow-capped Uludağ, while the crest combines striped colours with the Turkish crescent and star, the foundation year and five stars linked to the five clubs involved in the merger that created Bursaspor. The crocodile emblem gives the club its enduring Timsah character, reflected in the nicknames Yeşil-Beyazlılar and Yeşil Timsahlar.
The defining sporting achievement came in 2009–10, when Bursaspor won the Süper Lig and became only the second club from outside Istanbul to claim Turkey’s top-flight title after Trabzonspor. Its wider history includes a run to the 1974–75 European Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-finals and direct qualification for the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage, where Manchester United and Valencia were among the opponents. Its honours also include the Türkiye Kupası and the historic Prime Minister’s Cup.
Bursaspor plays home matches at the Centennial Atatürk Stadium, widely known as Timsah Park or Timsah Arena. Opened in the mid-2010s, the venue replaced the former Bursa Atatürk Stadium and is notable for its giant green crocodile design. The stadium gives physical form to an image that has long shaped the club’s public identity.
The club operates through a traditional Turkish sports-association model and is closely embedded in Bursa’s civic and municipal life. Its football culture is marked by strong regional attachment, energetic support and an emphasis on local development associated with the Vakıfköy facilities. The Teksas supporters’ group is central to the matchday atmosphere, while green-and-white striped or green-dominant kits remain part of the visual tradition. Together, the city, colours, crocodile symbolism, youth pathway and landmark title define Bursaspor’s place in Turkish football.
