The legendary football player and former coach of Fenerbahçe, Aykut Kocaman, made striking statements. Kocaman's confession about the president of the yellow-navy team, Ali Koç, years later drew attention.
"THE 'THIEF' IMPLICATION HURT ME A LOT"
Speaking to MertolTV's YouTube channel, Aykut Kocaman's statements were as follows;
"Ali Koç did not name me but implied it, and it hurt me a lot when he spoke by implying data theft, suggesting that my coaching friends wanted to make room for me by sending the coach away and similar things. For someone like me to be accused like this, especially by someone at that level, was really very hurtful."
"GÜNEŞ SAID, 'WHO IS AYKUT KOCAMAN,' I BURNED BRIDGES"
Kocaman touched on the topics that upset him the most, recounting an incident from the 2010-11 season. The experienced coach said the following about the issue: "In the year we became champions, 2010-2011, while chatting with a journalist friend about a situation that should not have been written, he chose to write it. In three consecutive matches, very obvious fabricated penalties were given to Trabzonspor. I had said that the penalties given to Trabzonspor should be scrutinized. These were served and a full-page headline was made from my mouth. It is indeed one of the sad days for me. This is a breach of trust. Because it was something said during a conversation. In response, Şenol Güneş held a press conference. He made a statement like, 'Who is Aykut Kocaman?' After the Sivasspor match, when I was asked a question, I made a speech that burned bridges," he said.
"VOLKAN DEMİREL IS HUNDRED PERCENT RIGHT"
As will be remembered, in the match played on December 22 between Trabzonspor and Bodrum FK, Volkan Demirel did not shake hands with Şenol Güneş, and this incident became a topic of discussion. In response to a question about this situation, Aykut Kocaman made the following comment;
"In my opinion, Volkan is a hundred percent right in the issue he reacted to. If it seems like a cylinder has passed over a city, hundreds of thousands of people have died, and you still come out and say 'they can train there,' that is a huge gaffe."
TECHNICAL DIRECTORSHIP STATISTICS AT FENERBAHÇE
Aykut Kocaman, who served as the head coach of Fenerbahçe in two different periods and left his last position in 2018, managed 197 matches with the yellow-navy team and achieved an average of 2.04 points.
