Coaching and managerial career

[edit]

Sârghe began her coaching career with historic Turkish club Altay SK which she took from the third division until they were promoted to the first division.

She then transferred to her former club and most successful Turkish women's football team Konak Belediyespor as an assistant manager. She guided them to the playoff quarter finals where they lost to Turkish powerhouse Beşiktaş JK.

Her feats attracted the attention of Carmen Bucharest where she signed the following year. With a newborn baby, she became the face of footballer mothers by helping the team achieve remarkable performances against established teams in Romania and also helped guide them to the Romania Cup final, before being let go by club officials for unexplainable reasons. Carmen Bucharest dissolved at the end of the season.

Her success in such a short attracted the attention of Romanian footballing legend Gheorghe Hagi who signed Sârghe to Farul Constanta for the 2023-24 season.

Personal life

[edit]

Sârghe married Andrew Simes in 2019. In 2022, they had a son, named William.
