FIFA CASE AND POINT-DEDUCTION RISK LIFTED
Adana Demirspor President Ertan Zeybek, noting that Vincenzo Montella's waiving his receivable was important, said, "Coach Montella could have filed this with FIFA as a case and caused us to suffer a points deduction and receive a penalty. This has been lifted from before us as a great burden. As the board, we settled a debt of 3 million 500 thousand Euros for around 347 thousand Euros. We have closed a total of 9 files. We did this as fans in only 10 months. As for what comes next, I think a nicer picture can emerge when we come together in unity with our presidents and the city's leading figures and businesspeople."
