Gaziantep FK are officially back to work ahead of the 2026-2027 Trendyol Süper Lig season. Manager Mirel Radoi arrives in Gaziantep today, with the first training session scheduled for tomorrow. The Red-Blacks finished last season 12th with 37 points (9 wins, 10 draws, 15 losses) and lost their final five matches. Their last outing was a 1-2 home defeat to Başakşehir on May 16.

What's on Radoi's Agenda with the Board?

The Romanian coach will hold a key meeting with President Memik Yılmaz. They will discuss the current squad structure, players likely to leave, and the latest transfer developments. Radoi is expected to present his technical report to the board.

Which Positions Will Be Strengthened?

Areas needing reinforcement before the training camp will be reviewed. The board plans to accelerate transfer operations based on the technical staff's report. Talks for priority positions are expected to conclude during the camp. Having scored 43 goals but conceded 58 (a -15 goal difference) last season, and finishing 40 points behind champions Galatasaray, defensive reinforcements are a clear priority.

When Does Pre-Season Training Start?

Players have begun returning to the city. After medical checks and the first session, the team will start their initial phase of preparations at their own facilities. Gaziantep FK aim to build a stronger squad and are looking to move quickly in the transfer market.
