Mustafa Reşit Akçay (born December 12, 1958 in Trabzon ) is a Turkish football coach.

Coaching career

Akçay started his coaching career in his home province of Trabzon and worked for Trabzon İdmangücü in the 1980s . In 1992 he was brought to this club by Trabzonspor's then club president Sadri Şener and charged with redesigning the youth department. Even from Trabzon , he worked here for five years and was part of the fact that such stars as Fatih Tekke and Gökdeniz Karadeniz were discovered. In 1997 he followed the coach Giray Bulak , who also came from Trabzon, to Vanspor and worked here for half a season in the youth department. He later assisted Bulak as an assistant coach at Göztepe Izmir , Sakaryaspor and Trabzonspor.

After a brief activity as a youth coach in the Trabzonspors youth department, he took over as head coach for the first time in his coaching career and coached the amateur club Bulancakspor .

For the second half of the 2001/02 season he quit this position and again assisted Giray Bulak, this time at Antalyaspor and then at Elazığspor .

From 2003 he worked again as head coach and looked after Gümüşhanespor and Pazarspor in turn .

2005/06 he took over the reserve team Trabzonspors and trained them for a season.

In the following years he coached several clubs in the lower Turkish leagues without successes worth mentioning.

In October 2010 he took over the post of head coach of the third-rate provincial club TKİ Tavşanlı Linyitspor . He surprisingly made this previously unknown club the relegation winner of the TFF 2nd Lig and thus achieved promotion to the second highest Turkish league, the TFF 1st Lig . With this success he drew attention to himself for the first time. In the TFF 1. Lig he established himself with his club at the top of the table and even took over the lead at times. At the end of the season, the club made it into the relegation of the TFF 1st Lig and missed promotion to the Süper Lig in the penultimate instance . This success was awarded by the trade press Akçay. Akçay had big arguments with the local press in the city of Tavşanlı during the closing stages because he refused to openly express his goals with the team. At the end of the season, he separated after mutual agreement with the club management and was replaced by Coşkun Demirbakan .

Akçay himself took over the third division and second club Trabzonspors , 1461 Trabzon , despite numerous offers on lower terms . With a squad of very young players, most of whom were loaned from Trabzonspor, his team reached the championship of the TFF 2nd Lig and thus direct promotion to the TFF 1st Lig .

With the end of the professional leagues in summer 2013, Trabzonspor elected a new club president with İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu . This presented Akçay as the new head coach of Trabzonspor as one of his first official acts.

After Akçay's team had a bad start in the second half of the season, he dissolved his contract by mutual agreement with his club and left Trabzonspor.

Although Akçay had received several offers from the Süper Lig after his departure from Trabzonspor, he did not accept any of these offers and declared that he wanted to rest until the end of the season. In the summer of 2014 he accepted the offer from the first division club Akhisar Belediyespor and signed a one-year contract here. After nine games without a win, Akhisar Belediyespor parted ways with Akçay.

For the 2015/16 season Akçay took over the new first division club Osmanlıspor FK .
