The 2019-20 campaign was a season of consolidation for Göztepe as the yellow-red side finished a respectable 11th in the Süper Lig, stabilizing their position under the mid-season arrival of manager İlhan Palut. Leading the attack were the joint top scorers Alpaslan Öztürk and Serdar Gürler, whose 7 goals each proved vital in a campaign built on consistency and securing a safe mid-table finish. The team also reached the Round of 16 in the Türkiye Kupası, marking a solid, respectable year that cemented their place in the top flight.
