Former coach of the Super League giant Fenerbahçe, İsmail Kartal, spoke for the first time about the preference for Domenico Tedesco in the technical director selection process.
"I DID NOT MAKE A PRESENTATION"
According to the news of Sercan Hamzaoğlu, İsmail Kartal stated that he did not make any presentation to the Fenerbahçe management, saying, "I am a child of Fenerbahçe, but there is only one point that I am saddened about; we met with Fenerbahçe managers in a family environment. There was no presentation or anything. We just chatted about general and current topics. I was upset about the leaking of words I did not say as if I had said them."
"WE SET THE BAR HIGH WITH 99 POINTS AND 99 GOALS"
Speaking about the team's new coach Domenico Tedesco, Kartal said, "I wish success to whoever our president and managers are, and to our new coach as well. I wish Fenerbahçe and our coach success on the road to the championship until the end, and I will continue to provide my support. We set the bar high with 99 points and 99 goals. The hand is above the hand; I hope the new coaches will do even better. Fenerbahçe deserves this," he said.
