İsmail Kartal is chasing a record at Fenerbahçe

In Fenerbahçe, which defeated Çaykur Rizespor 5-0 in the 7th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, manager İsmail Kartal is chasing a record.

The experienced manager, who is in his 3rd stint with the yellow-navy team, is drawing attention with the football he plays and the results he achieves.

The performance of manager İsmail Kartal is impressive at the yellow-navy club, which has played 7 matches each in the league and Europe this season, winning all 14 of the official matches it has played.

Kartal, who has led his team to one of the best starts in its history both in defense and offense, has managed to enter the club's history with the points-per-game average he has achieved among managers who have coached at least 10 matches in the Süper Lig at the helm of the yellow-navy team.

Kartal, who achieved a 2.21 points-per-game average in his 2 terms at the helm of Fenerbahçe in the league, was previously behind managers who have made history with the yellow-navy team, such as Jorge Jesus, Christoph Daum, Emre Belözoğlu, Todor Veselinovic, and Carlos Alberto Parreira.

Surpassing all managers except Carlos Alberto Parreira one by one with his performance this season, İsmail Kartal has become the 2nd most successful manager in the club's league history.

HIS AVERAGE HAS EXCEEDED 2.30

İsmail Kartal has managed to exceed 2.30 in his points-per-game average in league history with Fenerbahçe.

With the Çaykur Rizespor match, Kartal, who appeared in his 59th match with the yellow-navy team, has achieved 41 wins, 13 draws, and 5 losses.

The experienced manager has achieved a points-per-game average of over 2.30 in these matches.

HE SURPASSED DAUM AND BELÖZOĞLU

İsmail Kartal has surpassed Christoph Daum and Emre Belözoğlu, who are among the managers with the highest points-per-game averages in Fenerbahçe's league history.

German manager Christoph Daum, who served as manager for 4 seasons in 2 separate terms in the league with Fenerbahçe, had won 2 consecutive championships.

Daum, who lost the championships in the remaining 2 seasons in the final matches, had won the appreciation of the yellow-navy fans with his performance.

In that process, Daum appeared in 136 matches at the helm of Fenerbahçe, achieving 97 wins, 20 draws, and 19 losses.

The experienced manager had achieved a 2.28 points-per-game average in the league with these results.

Kartal, who reached a 2.28 points-per-game average before the RAMS Başakşehir victory, increased his average to 2.29 with that victory and managed to surpass Daum.

HE ROSE TO 2ND PLACE BY SURPASSING EMRE BELÖZOĞLU

İsmail Kartal also surpassed Emre Belözoğlu after Daum.

Emre Belözoğlu, who appeared in 10 matches in the league with the yellow-navy team, had achieved a 2.30 points-per-game average with 7 wins, 2 draws, and a single loss in that period.

Kartal, who reached a 2.29 points-per-game average before the Çaykur Rizespor match, surpassed the Black Sea representative as well, bringing his average above 2.30 and managing to pass Emre Belözoğlu.

JESUS REMAINED AT 2.22

Jorge Jesus, who served in Fenerbahçe last season, remained well behind İsmail Kartal.

The Portuguese manager, who had a very effective start in that period, finished the league with a 2.22 points-per-game average with 25 wins, 5 draws, and 6 losses.

THE CURRENT TARGET IS PARREIRA

Brazilian coach Carlos Alberto Parreira, who served as manager in Fenerbahçe in the 1995-1996 season and reached the championship, is the most successful manager of the yellow-navy team.

Parreira, who appeared in 34 matches with his team in that season, reached a 2.47 points-per-game average with 26 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses.

HE SURPASSED CHAMPION DOMESTIC MANAGERS

İsmail Kartal has established a great superiority in points-per-game average over his domestic colleagues Aykut Kocaman and Ersun Yanal, who have recently won championships with Fenerbahçe.

Ersun Yanal, who appeared in a total of 77 matches in the league in 2 separate terms with the yellow-navy team, achieved a 1.88 points-per-game average with 42 wins, 19 draws, and 16 losses, and won one championship in this process.

Another manager who served in 2 separate terms with Fenerbahçe and achieved a championship is Aykut Kocaman.

Kocaman, who served as manager for the yellow-navy team for a total of 4 seasons, became champion in his first season in 2010-2011.

Kocaman, who finished in second place in the remaining 3 seasons, appeared in 142 matches in the league in total, reaching a 2.08 points-per-game average with 89 wins, 29 draws, and 24 losses.
