İsmail Kartal resigned at Fenerbahçe and Aykut Kocaman came to the agenda

Fenerbahçe Head Coach İsmail Kartal resigned from his position following consecutive results. Following the meeting held in Samandıra where his resignation was accepted, it was reported that Dirk Kuyt will temporarily take over the duty, while President Aziz Yıldırım will contact Aykut Kocaman.

The İsmail Kartal era at Fenerbahçe came to an end following consecutive match results and reactions from the fans. The experienced manager, who had resigned after the Roma match but returned from his decision, experienced a difficult process after the Aston Villa defeat, the Slavia Prag match, and the Galatasaray derby when the stands called for his resignation. Following the goals conceded in the derby, Kartal, whose position on the bench was debated, met with Football Director Oğuz Çetin at the Samandıra Can Bartu Facilities to convey his decision.
