Alanyaspor has ended its relationship with Portuguese head coach Joao Pereira after approximately 20 months in charge. The club's management decided to part ways with the 42-year-old coach following recent point losses and the team's position in the league standings. Pereira leaves after overseeing four consecutive defeats, including losses to Fenerbahçe, Kocaelispor, Gençlerbirliği, and Trabzonspor.
The team has failed to win in its last five matches and conceded seven goals in its final two games. In the remaining 11 league weeks, Alanyaspor collected 12 points from three wins, three draws, and five losses, dropping to 13th place. Pereira began his tenure at Alanyaspor on March 22, 2025, replacing Sami Uğurlu.
“The club president thanked Pereira for his service and contributions to the orange-green team.”
During his time at the club, Pereira managed 62 matches across all competitions, recording 19 wins, 22 draws, and 21 losses with a points-per-game average of 1.27. He previously helped the team avoid relegation in the 2024-2025 season, finishing 12th with 45 points. The club extended his contract until 2027 in May, but inconsistent results in the new season changed those plans.
Club president Hasan Çavuşoğlu thanked Pereira for his service and contributions to the orange-green team. Alanyaspor announced that it parted ways with Pereira by mutual agreement. The club is expected to issue an official statement regarding the coach's departure.
