Social media tension in Kayserispor after cup elimination
Following Kayserispor's elimination from the Ziraat Turkish Cup with a 4-1 defeat against Bitlis Özgüzeldere, former player Turan Akkoyun's criticisms directed at the management sparked sharp reactions from current and former players.
After Kayserispor bid farewell to the tournament following a 4-1 defeat to Bitlis Özgüzeldere in the Ziraat Turkish Cup, former player Turan Akkoyun's statements targeting the coaching staff and management sparked a social media debate around the club.
Former Kayserispor footballer Turan Akkoyun criticized head coach Atila Gerin and sporting director Seyit İçgül in a post on social media. Akkoyun found the team's performance in the cup match insufficient and questioned the head coach's absence from the team's side during the match.
Responding to Akkoyun's statements, former Kayserispor player Benhur Keser replied to the criticisms in a post on his social media account without mentioning names. Keser used the expressions, "When the traitor tries to be from within, the sheep grazes at another door."
Current Kayserispor footballer Oğulcan Çağlayan, who joined the debate, tagged Turan Akkoyun and gave a harsh response. Çağlayan accused Akkoyun of pursuing personal interests and called on the fans not to give credit to such statements.
