Introduction Leadership is a collective, dynamic and traditional topic that has become the focus of management and sports psychology most of the time. Although often referred to as team leader, class teacher, or teacher as a leader, leadership is not a simple feature of one person, but it includes dimensions, practices and complex and complex features. Leadership has an impact on individuals so that they work with the desire for group goals. When someone takes the responsibility of a group as leader, in addition to having the necessary features and controls, this person should also be a leader in the appropriate leadership style of the group. In sporting positions, this role is coached and in group sporting disciplines, like other groups and organizations, the personality and leadership style of the manager is directly related to the role of the team with the performance, motivation, satisfaction and cohesion of the group, and activities A group of people are affected by many psychological and physical factors (Hersey et al, 2001). Case (1984) identified coaches as one of the most important human resources in sports organizations. He believes coaches, even if they do not use the term leadership, but their tasks require leadership such as advanced and organized activities. In order to achieve the team's goals, the coaches tackle tasks such as targeting, planning, organizing, controlling and coordinating and influencing players to achieve goals. In fact, by formulating such policies in group processes and social interactions, they bring the same tasks as the leader (Chu and Kim, 2014). Mc Neillis (1993) believed that leadership of elite teams was parallel to leadership in advanced organizations, embraced the same function and duties. The type of leadership style is very important in achieving the success of a sports team, as with other factors such as motivation of people, financial resources, goals, etc. If other factors play a good role in the success of a team, but the leadership style does not create incentives for followers, one cannot expect that team is to achieve its goals, which is success and victory (Bryce, 2007). The results of Alemu, S. M. and Babu, 2011; Saybani, 2013 indicate that the type of behavior of the instructor has a detrimental effect on the performance and athletic characteristics of the athlete. One of the mental attributes of athletes influenced by their mentor coaching style is their satisfaction. Coaches and caretakers should be important for the enjoyment and satisfaction of athletes and if athletes are satisfied with the behavior and leadership style of the coach, one could hope for a favorable outcome and performance. Athletes' satisfaction involves two main dimensions of the process of coach's European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 3 │ Issue 10 │ 2017 182 Kürşat Yusuf Aytaç THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LEADERSHIP STYLES OF COACHES WITH THE SATISFACTION AND MOTIVATION OF FOOTBALL PLAYERS IN TRABZON UNIVERSITIES behavior and the result of the coach's work of the two sections of the coaching and training practice and the behavior and interaction of the coach and the outcome of the coaching process is divided into two parts: team performance and individual performance (Almo & Babo, 2011). Among the three factors are athletes, coaches and spectators and the center of focus. Coaches can be examples of the right behavior for their surroundings. The important thing is that the coach's leadership style clearly determines his approach to helping the group to take responsibility and in order to meet the needs of this group, successful coaches can be very effective using different coaching styles, so that sometimes the change in leadership style can have dramatic results immediately. In sport, one aspect that coaches need to manage with respect is to their leadership style. Sports Leader is a framework for testing and evaluating processes and cognitive responses to activities by the athlete. In the formation and development of sports teams, one cannot ignore the role of the coach in the performance of the players (Rizi, 2013). One of the most important factors influencing the success of a team is the behavior of team leaders. Clearly, sports educators must stop staying in the past and prepare themselves to meet the needs of today's sport. It is necessary to change their attitude, behavior and strategy and adopt a new approach to leadership. Therefore, it is essential to examine the leadership styles in the field of coaching and sport. For this reason, this study aims to enhance the leadership of coaches in university football sport and it is intended to examine the relationship between the leadership styles of coaches with the satisfaction and motivation of football players in Trabzon universities.
