Andre Onana pays a moving tribute to Trabzonspor’s assistant coach, who passed away a few days ago
The Cameroonian goalkeeper dedicated his team’s victory over Rizespor in the Süper Lig to Orhan Kaynak.
Onana explained that the match took place against a very difficult backdrop for the whole squad. But despite the grief surrounding the team, the players found the motivation needed to fight on the pitch. For the Cameroonian, the aim was to secure a victory in tribute to the man who had supported them.
This match was special for us in every way. We lost our coach [Orhan Kaynak, Trabzonspor’s assistant coach, ed.] at the start of the week. After hearing this sad news, it wasn’t easy to play this match for the city. Winning for him was very important. We have suffered a painful loss. He was always there and a great support during training sessions at the club. His passing has deeply affected everyone, but today’s victory has brought a little joy to our supporters, even if only a little. We dedicate this victory to our coach.
