Fenerbahçe players issue ultimatum regarding İsmail Kartal!

Fenerbahçe, unable to end its championship drought, finished the season in second place with 99 points.

While the trophy-less season has left the Yellow-Navy fans disappointed, the future of head coach İsmail Kartal at the club remains uncertain.

It has been learned that President Ali Koç and İsmail Kartal will hold a meeting in the coming days to discuss planning for the new season and the report prepared by Kartal.

It is noted that while Koç wants to continue with Kartal, this does not seem very possible for various reasons.

BRANCO ALSO SAID 'NEW COACH'

According to a report in Sözcü, it is stated that stars at Fenerbahçe, especially foreign players, have informed the management that they will leave the team if the club continues with İsmail Kartal. Furthermore, it is noted that current Sporting Director Mario Branco has also conveyed to Ali Koç that starting the season with a new coach would be a more correct decision. Unless there is a last-minute change, it is being discussed that Koç will honor Kartal with a plaque and bid him farewell.

'WHAT I HAVE DONE IS CLEAR'

İsmail Kartal had used the following expressions regarding his future at Fenerbahçe after the İstanbulspor match:

"Whatever is best for me and for Fenerbahçe will happen. Every time I came here, I played good football, I got record points, we shattered the statistics. I wish we could have been champions, but unfortunately, as Jesus said last year, we unfortunately cannot overcome some things here. I am very sorry that we could not be champions, of course. I don't have any math in my head about staying or leaving the club. Our president and our management will evaluate these. I apologize to our fans very much because we could not be champions."
