history

Beginning and ascent

Manisaspor was originally founded as Sakaryaspor in 1931 , the club colors were black and white. Already in the early years the club was regionally successful, so the Manisa Amatör şampiyonluk (Amateur Championship Manisa) could be won 15 times. During the Second World War , the club did not play any games and resumed gaming in 1946, and in 1954 it was possible to become third in the Amatör Kulüpler Şampiyonası Türkiye (Turkish Amateur League) . In 1964 the club was allowed to take part in the professional 1st league , where it was renamed Manisa Sakaryaspor . On June 15, 1965, the name Manisaspor , which is still valid today, was announced, the club colors were retained. The club eke out its existence until 2000 as a rather insignificant club in the Lig B and the Üçüncü Lig . However, this changed radically when the Manisa-based company Vestel took over the club. The club colors black and white were supplemented by red, the club name was expanded to Vestel Manisaspor . Vestel is the third largest European manufacturer of household appliances and consumer electronics.

In the 2000/01 season the immediate promotion to Lig B succeeded , in the following 2001/02 season the club rose to Lig A for the first time . For the first time, the club caused a sensation by signing the former national coach Mustafa Denizli . However, Denizli had to vacate his coaching chair because of a disappointing 4th place in the 2003/04 season. In the 2004/05 season, the club secured promotion to the Süper Lig three game days before the end of the season. With the commitment of former national coach Ersun Yanal and well-known players like Lukáš Zelenka , the club achieved a place in its first season in the top division the middle of the table, but in the 2006/07 season the club developed into a phenomenon. After nine game days Manisaspor was already six points ahead of Fenerbahçe Istanbul on the table, but at the end of the season the team was only 12th. On September 2, 2007, club president Haluk Çubukçu announced that Vestel was withdrawing as namesake. At the end of the 2007/08 season Vestel Manisaspor was relegated to the second division and changed its name back to Manisaspor. In the 2008/09 season they were directly promoted to the Süper Lig. As a climber in the 2009/10 season, they could secure relegation at the end of the season with 14th place. In 2012, the team had to be relegated as the penultimate of the season . In 2015 another relegation to the 3rd division followed .

Fans

The fans of Manisaspor call themselves Tarzanlar (The Tarzans) , this rather idiosyncratic name originated after the namesake Tarzan von Manisa , whose real name was Ahmet Bedevi. Bedevi was a World War I veteran who donated all of his fortune to the needy after the end of the war and retired to the forests of Manisa to devote himself to reforestation. In the city, the club has enjoyed a relatively loyal following , especially since the first ascent in history to the Süper Lig . People living in Manisa or in the provinces who are fans of the three big clubs Galatasaray Istanbul , Fenerbahçe Istanbul or Beşiktaş Istanbul are called "traitors" and are often discriminated against. In 2011 the first official fan shop opened in downtown Manisa. The fans are considered capricious, the home games are attended differently. In 2013 the fans of Manisaspor were “awarded” by the Manşet Gazetesi as the “worst fans of the TFF 1. Lig ”. The reasons given were persistent rioting, fanfare and the excessive use of swear words.

Friendships and rivalries

Fan friendships

The Tarzanlar have the closest friendship with the fans of Sakaryaspor , together they call themselves Manisakarya . The friendship has decreased in recent years, however, as Sakaryaspor no longer plays in a league with Manisaspor. They also have a good relationship with the fans of Göztepe Izmir , whose ultras call themselves Yalı . This came about due to the rivalry with Karşıyaka SK , which is also Göztepe's biggest rival. There is also a loose friendship with the fans of Gaziantepspor , but this is not strictly cultivated.

Rivalries

The biggest rival is the Izmir- based club Karşıyaka SK . Games between the two clubs are often extremely heated and explosive, and rioting often occurs. Furthermore, there is a less intense rivalry with Denizlispor , which, like Manisaspor, belong to the Aegean region . One has an ambivalent relationship with the fans of Akhisar Belediyespor . Some fans see Akhisarspor as a rival due to the proximity of both cities. It is also criticized that today's Akhisarspor fans backed Manisaspor when Akhisar was still playing amateur football. Others see Akhisar as the "brother association", since Akhisar is a district of Manisa.

Stadion

The club's own Manisa 19 Mayıs Stadı only offered space for 6,500 spectators when they were promoted to the first division. Thus, the capacity posed a major problem for the club, which should be solved with the construction of a new stadium with 22,500 seats. However, this plan was abandoned at short notice and the old stadium was initially expanded to currently accommodate 15,000 spectators. At the end of May 2009, construction work began to modernize the stadium.
