Aykut Kocaman speaks for the first time about Ali Koç's 'data theft' insinuation! A confession made years later...

After winning the presidential race against Aziz Yıldırım in 2018, Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç did not continue with the incumbent manager Aykut Kocaman, choosing to bring in Philip Cocu instead.

Ali Koç, who oversaw a nightmare season for the Yellow-Navy community in his first year as president, had claimed that someone from the technical staff was leaking data. It was suggested that in this statement, Koç was insinuating Aykut Kocaman and his team without naming them.

Aykut Kocaman made striking statements and confessions on the YouTube channel MertolTV. Speaking for the first time about Ali Koç's 'data leaking' allegation, the experienced manager stated the following:

"Ali Koç did not name me, but by insinuating data theft and suggesting that my coaching colleagues wanted to make room for me by getting the manager fired, his comments really hurt me.

For someone like him to accuse someone like me, and to be able to make such an accusation, especially coming from someone at that level, was truly very hurtful and offensive."

4 TROPHIES WITH FENERBAHÇE

Aykut Kocaman, who left his post in 2018, won 1 Süper Lig title, 1 Super Cup, and 2 Turkish Cup titles as manager with Fenerbahçe.
