Former Chelsea midfielder Eddie Newton is the new boss at Trabzonspor.

The 48-year-old won his two games in temporary charge and won the team's first trophy in ten years.

Trabzonspor were successful in the Turkish Cup, defeating Alanyaspor 2-0 on Wednesday.

Newton was Chelsea assistant under Roberto di Matteo when the Blues won the Champions League in 2012.

"I've been trying to become a number one for a while and just didn't see it happening [in England]," Newton told Sky Sports after winning the Turkish Cup.

"The fact is that I've moved to another country and it's taken six months to become caretaker manager.

"I've been working in football all my life so that's why I felt there was more opportunity over here, so I had to take the chance.

"Look up and down the league. Not my opinion or anyone's opinion, just look at the facts. There are very few black managers in the league, therefore the numbers don't lie."
