Following Fenerbahçe's consecutive defeats against Galatasaray and Göztepe, the board convened an emergency meeting. It was stated that the meeting, which began at 14:00 amid growing fan backlash, could produce many radical decisions, including resignations. The decisions to be made by the board at the yellow-navy club are eagerly awaited.
In the 10th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe hosted Göztepe at Chobani Stadium.
The yellow-and-navy team, who completed the first half 1-0 ahead, could not maintain its lead and left the field with a 2-1 defeat.
After Fenerbahçe suffered its second consecutive league defeat, fans reacted strongly to the management and the players after the match.
Following these developments, the Fenerbahçe Board of Directors entered an extraordinary meeting today at 14:00.
RADICAL DECISIONS, INCLUDING RESIGNATION, ON THE TABLE
It was stated that important decisions regarding the club's future were discussed at the meeting held by the yellow-and-navy management.
It was claimed that many issues, including the option of resignation, were on the table at the board meeting.
It was learned that the Fenerbahçe management may take radical decisions in various areas following the poor results.
CONSECUTIVE RESULTS INCREASED REACTIONS
The fuse of the crisis at Fenerbahçe was lit by the Slavia Prague match played in the 3rd week of the UEFA Champions League.
Although the yellow-and-navy team went 2-0 ahead against its opponent, it could not maintain its lead, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
After this match, head coach İsmail Kartal became the target of criticism.
Fenerbahçe then visited Galatasaray in the 9th week of the Süper Lig. The yellow-and-navy team left the derby with a 2-1 defeat, drawing the reaction of its fans.
İSMAİL KARTAL RESIGNED, TEAM ENTRUSTED TO DIRK KUYT
One day after the Galatasaray defeat, head coach İsmail Kartal resigned from his position at Fenerbahçe.
After Kartal's departure, the yellow-and-navy club announced that technical director Dirk Kuyt would be in charge of the team until the international break.
Fenerbahçe, playing its first match under the Dutch coach against Göztepe, left the field with a 2-1 defeat despite taking a 1-0 lead.
The consecutive negative results further increased the fans' reactions toward the management and the players. Consequently, the decisions to be taken at the extraordinary board meeting became a matter of curiosity.
