The İsmail Kartal era as head coach at Fenerbahçe has come to an end. Following the defeat in the derby, Kartal submitted his request to leave his post to President Aziz Yıldırım and the board of directors.
Following the meeting held at the Samandıra Can Bartu Facilities, the decision to part ways was made by mutual agreement between the parties. In a statement released on its social media accounts, the club thanked Kartal for his efforts and his dedication to Fenerbahçe.
Our head coach İsmail Kartal has shared his decision to leave his post with our management, and as a result of the meetings held, this decision has been evaluated within the framework of mutual understanding and respect. We thank İsmail Kartal for his efforts, the dedication he has shown, and his commitment to Fenerbahçe. We wish him success in his future career.
It was noted that after the meeting, İsmail Kartal left the facilities in his vehicle, and later President Aziz Yıldırım also left the facilities accompanied by Mahmut Uslu.
Speaking to TRT Spor after his departure, Kartal stated that his decision was the most correct option for both himself and the club.
My psychology can no longer handle it, I cannot motivate myself, and I want to clear the way for the club. I believe this is for the best for both me and the club.
