Managerial career
After retiring from playing, Ahmet Cebe moved into coaching within the Fortuna Düsseldorf academy, working across youth age groups including assistant roles before taking charge of a youth side during the 2022–23 season. He subsequently progressed into senior football as assistant manager of Fortuna Düsseldorf II from July 2023, gaining experience within the Regionalliga environment. Cebe holds a UEFA A coaching licence.
In October 2025, Cebe was appointed head coach of Legentus in the UAE Second Division with the club sitting on zero points at the time of his arrival.[3] He oversaw a significant turnaround, guiding the team to a third-place finish while recording a 2.0 points-per-game average, a run of form that drew interest from higher-level clubs.[4]
On 25 February 2026, Cebe was appointed first team manager of Gulf United F.C., opting to join the Dubai-based club in managerial role in the UAE First Division.[5][unreliable source?]
