Kasımpaşa Club Vice President and CEO Ceyhun Kazancı made a statement to HT Spor.
"THERE WAS A CHAOTIC ENVIRONMENT LAST SEASON"
There was a chaotic environment last season. It was not easy to manage those periods, change is painful. We wanted to become a production center. One of the key words of this project is on-field density.
"WE WERE READY FOR EMRE BELÖZOĞLU'S DEPARTURE"
Since we announced the new coach within 24 hours after Emre Belözoğlu's departure, we did not start our search at that moment. As managers, we need to make accurate observations and follow the processes well. The teacher didn't know either, but I was very confident that the teacher would go; We were always talking about such a possibility in our conversations. In fact, the fact that things are not going well at Fenerbahçe automatically makes the coach a natural candidate. After all, we are talking about a person who was the captain of Fenerbahçe, loved Fenerbahçe, and had a very important place in Fenerbahçe history. Things were going very well in Kasımpaşa, the coach was playing good football. He has made a great effort, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him very much again.
We had made our preparations. We had several candidates, one of them was Alfred. We had our meetings, we were already in contact with him before. We talked, we said what was on our minds; And he told us what was on his mind. We thought he was the right candidate for Kasımpaşa.
"OUR EXPECTATION IS NOT A CHANGING ORDER"
Every brave man has a yoghurt dish. The new coach definitely has plans in mind. Our criterion was that the teacher should not make too radical changes. The teacher is already such a teacher; As the season continues, they have previous experiences like this. He told us: 'I'm definitely not thinking of making radical changes while things are going well.' He already appreciates Emre Hodja and the game he plays. He watched all the matches intensively in those 2-3 days and made his plans. Therefore, our expectation is definitely not for a very changing order.
"WE HAVE A HOT FAN GROUP"
Kasımpaşa has a history. We have a passionate fan group. It would be better if you make your plans for the floor. We work with our own team and an outside company.
"EMRE HOCA IS A NATURAL CANDIDATE"
When things start to get worse for Fenerbahçe and a change of coach comes to the fore, Emre Hoca is the natural candidate. We predicted this. For our part, we started our work by telling the teacher about this. We were already chatting about this in a humorous way. When I said, 'Teacher, it seems like a road will take you there', he said, 'Oh, brother, will you send me?' He said humorously:
"F.BAHÇE MANAGEMENT CALLED AND ASKED FOR PERMISSION"
There were news in the press saying 'Emre Hodja will leave'. During that day, my teacher brought up this issue to me and said: 'I was called, there is such a subject, but I told them clearly; I said, 'I am currently working in a club, I will not meet you without meeting with the club's managers and getting permission from them.' He conveyed this to me, thank you, and said they would call me. Frankly, we had not yet received a call at the time we spoke to you that day. But I say again, we had made our preparations. I also talked to the teacher; We said, 'If I am called, we, as the management, will of course allow you to meet, we will not have a problem with blocking your way.' Afterwards, thanks to Fenerbahçe management, they called and asked for permission, and we said, 'You can meet'.
"EMRE HOCA'S FUTURE IS VERY CLEAR"
There was no such topic on Tuesday morning. We even had a meeting with the coach regarding the health of our player named Muanga, our defender. Afterwards, 'Brother, can we talk for two minutes?' he said and after that let's say the process officially started for us. It was fast, good luck; Because he is a very valuable person. I think Emre Hodja's future is very clear. Someone who speaks foreign languages and follows world football and modern football. He is very hardworking and very ambitious, there is no need to say that. Of course, I think all of these will lead him to success at some point. If Kasımpaşa caused this, we would be happy. Emre Belözoğlu is a value of Turkish football. I hope he will be very successful in Fenerbahçe.
"EMRE HOCA HAD A TEAM OF 10 PEOPLE"
Emre Belözoğlu had a team of 10 people. He told me that 1-2 more people would be added to his team.
- Did Kasımpaşa have any requests from Fenerbahçe?
There is absolutely no such thing as opportunism. The number one issue for us was actually the teacher's approach and desire. The coach was very willing, of course Fenerbahçe is his home. Fenerbahçe was also very willing. We would not be in a position to stand in their way there.
"THERE WAS NO CLAUSE IN EMRE HOCA'S CONTRACT"
There was no clause in Emre Belözoğlu's contract such as 'He will be released if Fenerbahçe wishes'.
"IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A TURKISH COACH IN THE NATIONAL TEAM"
Sergen Yalçın has sufficient experience. It is better to have a Turkish coach in the national team.
"THE SYSTEM MUST CHANGE REGARDING THE REFEREE"
The system regarding referees must change. There should be an order in which decisions do not change according to colors.
