İsmail Kartal's resignation decision in Fenerbahçe did not change, Aziz Yıldırım's call was ineffective

Fenerbahçe's efforts to dissuade İsmail Kartal from resigning, although difficult, yielded results. The successful coach said at the press conference after the Rome match the previous evening, "I am leaving my job never to return again." It was noteworthy that Kartal thanked the players, staff and fans in his speech and ignored the president Aziz Yıldırım and the managers.

PACKED HIS THINGS

Minutes after the 65-year-old coach, Aziz Yıldırım appeared in front of the cameras and said, "I talked to İsmail Kartal inside. There is no need for him to say that he will continue. I said 'You will continue', that's it. I am his elder. As long as I am on duty, İsmail Kartal cannot leave here."

It was thought that the resignation was reversed after these words of the President. However, it was revealed that İsmail Kartal went to the facilities after the match and collected his belongings. The experienced coach did not go to training at 12:00 yesterday. He also turned off his phone.

HE WILL TRAIN TODAY

Football manager Cihan Kamer and sports director Oğuz Çetin, who could not reach Kartal, went to İsmail Kartal's house. Kartal was expected to return from Friday Prayer.

Then, a meeting was held that lasted approximately 2.5 hours. However, despite all efforts, the experienced coach did not back down on his decision. Kamer and Çetin returned to the club building, and the details of the meeting were shared with the board of directors.
