Despite winning 2–0 against Fenerbahçe in their first game, İstanbul Başakşehir (formerly known as Istanbul BB) had a rough start to the season. Even though he received an offer from a team that was the champion in the 2007–08 season, Galatasaray, Avcı chose to remain with İstanbul Başakşehir (formerly known as Istanbul BB) and declined the offer.

In addition to his successful stint at İstanbul Başakşehir (formerly known as Istanbul BB) Abdullah Avcı received a contract from the Turkey national team.

Having failed with only 6 wins and 4 draws in 18 matches with the national team, Avcı resigned from his position on August 20, 2013, after the rumors of the search for a new coach were not denied.

İstanbul Başakşehir

After his stint as coach of the Turkey national football team, Abdullah Avcı returned to İstanbul Başakşehir in the 2014–15.

Beşiktaş

Despite winning 11 matches at the start of the season, Beşiktaş's performance declined significantly, which led to Avcı's sacking on 25 January 2020, after only seven months as the coach. It is worth noting that the team's disappointing results and the lack of support from the fans played a significant role in Avcı's departure from the club.
