Ismail Kartal Remains Fenerbahce Head Coach After Resignation
Ismail Kartal will remain the head coach of Fenerbahce, despite his announcement of resignation following a 1-1 draw against Roma in the Champions League on Thursday.
After the match, Kartal expressed his intention to step down, citing the pressures of the role and an incident where he was struck by a bottle thrown from the stands. However, Fenerbahce's president, Aziz Yildirim, stated that he had not accepted Kartal's resignation and confirmed that the coach would continue to lead the team.
The club is preparing for their upcoming Turkish Super Lig match against Gaziantep FK on Monday, with Kartal still in charge. Fenerbahce currently sits ninth in the league, having earned six points from four matches. Their next Champions League game is scheduled against Aston Villa on October 14.
