After gaining just four points in the first five games, he was released by the club management. He was then later replaced by Reinhard Stumpf.

During the winter break of the season 2010/11 he accepted an offer from the strong relegation-threatened Turkish first division club Kasımpaşa Istanbul. Kasımpaşa occupied at this time with eight points far behind in last place. Çapa was the descent to the end of the season does not prevent, but he gathered with the club for 15 points and kept for a long time, the chance to reach a non- relegation zone.
