Surprising statement from Samsunspor President Yüksel Yıldırım: I cannot get along with the coach

In the 3rd week of the Trendyol Süper League, Samsunspor and Fenerbahçe faced off at the Yeni 19 Mayıs Stadium. While the yellow-navy blues made a good start to the league by winning the match 2-0, morale was low on the Samsunspor side.

Speaking after the match, Samsunspor Club President Yüksel Yıldırım evaluated the game, specifically touching upon the absence of injured players and striking details regarding the team's general situation. He stated, "Fenerbahçe is a much superior team to us. They are not even our rivals. We had 7 injured players. 6 of them were starting 11 players. I congratulate them on qualifying for the Champions League. Compared to last year, our strength against Beşiktaş, Fenerbahçe, and Galatasaray seems weaker. Because we are going through a squad restructuring every 3 years. This year will be spent on the squad getting to know each other."

Yıldırım also emphasized the impact of the injuries and the new restructuring within the team, stating that they want to present a better picture in the coming weeks of the season.

In his statement, Yüksel Yıldırım clearly expressed that disagreements with the head coach continue. President Yıldırım said, "I cannot get along with my coach, let me be clear. The coach wanted an experienced center-back. I said we have 4 young, brilliant center-backs. We will finish the league with these 4. To be honest, Borevkovic wanted to leave at the end of the season. Neither can he find a club, nor can our people. It ended up costing me. The coach was forced to, he put him in the game today. We have no chance of getting the performance we want. I explained this to the coach. Our 10+4 squad is full. The one player who will leave is Borevkovic. If we can send him, we will sign a striker. If we cannot send him, then transfers are considered finished for us. No, we have no space. That is the problem for all teams. If we cannot make transfers, there is nothing to do. There are 2 wingers, there is no alternative," revealing the difficulties in the team's transfer and squad restructuring.

While Samsunspor aims to gain momentum with the return of injured players during the league break, how the dialogue between Yıldırım and the technical staff will reflect on the team's performance in the coming period remains a matter of curiosity.
