Head coach Aykut Kocaman announced that he is not keen on the offer made to him by Fenerbahçe Club Presidential Candidate Saadettin Saran regarding the responsibility of the football branch.
Kocaman, who stated that he feels the necessity to make a statement in order to clarify uncertainties as they are on the verge of a crucial election that contains vital elements for the future of the yellow-navy blue community, answered the questions of AA reporter.
Emphasizing that Fenerbahçe is a very large community, Kocaman expressed that he took a break from his coaching career for a while due to the problematic atmosphere in the country's football.
The experienced coach highlighted that Fenerbahçe has always been the center of success and new goals, stating, "As someone who has the 2011 championship, the 2013 UEFA Semi-Final, and 2 Turkish Cups in my coaching career at Fenerbahçe, it is impossible and unacceptable to think or argue otherwise. Sometimes, despite the destructive July 3 conspiracy, returning from the brink of a European final, and sometimes walking towards the championship while facing the attacks of certain vague silhouettes is clear in the recent memory of the Fenerbahçe community. I must emphasize that the situation of having taken a break from my coaching career due to the problematic atmosphere in the country's football does not entail a decision to quit." he said.
"I WILL NOT AVOID ANY ASSIGNMENT GIVEN BY FENERBAHÇE RELATED TO MY PROFESSION"
Aykut Kocaman expressed that he will continue his coaching career and will not avoid any assignment that Fenerbahçe may give related to his profession. The 60-year-old coach noted that the community has the power and resilience to overcome the problems, stating, "As a soldier of Fenerbahçe, I have no chance of avoiding any assignment that I believe I can contribute to and that is related to my profession. The Fenerbahçe community has the power to eliminate the web of problems and the resilience to end manipulative chatter similar to the past."
Reminding that his position during the break he took and his statements are "a persistent and clear indication that he is not seeking any assignment," Kocaman said, "Lastly; I must express my gratitude for Mr. Sadettin's valuable statements and very precious offer, and I do not find it right at this moment in my internal accounting to build a new career plan on a quitting decision that I have not yet made."
