After parting ways with Giovanni van Bronckhorst, Sergen Yalçın, who is the strongest candidate for the head coach position at Beşiktaş, announced the response and final decision of the black-and-white club's president, Hüseyin Yücel, during a program he attended on Ekol TV. "DON'T BELIEVE WHAT'S WRITTEN"Sergen Yalçın used the following statements in his explanation; "Please do not believe what is written on Twitter! Contracts, money, my statements... These have nothing to do with me! I have never said such things to anyone! Don't believe these liars! They write about money, contracts, and other things... These are lies! I am in a very difficult situation, I am not on Twitter and I cannot respond. "I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH CHAOS"My father started taking me to training when I was 11 years old, and I have never seen such chaos since that day! Samet brother's statements, the things he implied! I don't want to talk about them; they are not my concern! I am a football man! Don't involve me in these matters! Accusations, responses! I have never seen such off-field issues before!" "I TOLD THEM 'DON'T USE ME'""I spoke with Hüseyin Yücel about the head coach position. Money, contracts, these are not my concerns! When I came last time, the only issue was the football team. We thought we could fix this. The current issue is not football! I told Hüseyin Yücel this as well. I said, 'Please don't use me to cover up these issues.' I am not an opportunistic person! I don't think of coming as a head coach by using this. I set goals and work hard. If I won't work at Beşiktaş, where will I work? I haven't talked about money, nor have I received any compensation! I can explain so much, but I won't. A broken arm stays within the sleeve. Right now, the issue at Beşiktaş is not the head coach! There is no management, no elections! The president is gone, there is a new president. I like Hüseyin Yücel, don't get me wrong, but when you look at the picture, what is happening here? It is uncertain what will happen in three days! If a new management comes, what will you do? It is very difficult to get out of this situation; I can't get out of it." "I WILL WORK WITH WHOEVER""First, the problems need to be resolved. Hüseyin Yücel, Serdar Bilgili, Serdal Adalı... I will work with whoever. The issue is not the head coach! Look back at what is happening, what people are saying! The situation is chaotic! Can you guarantee that this management will last another six months? "CAN A PERSON BE FIRED ON WHATSAPP?"Why don't I have a sports director? Why isn't there someone like Brad Friedel? Do you understand now? Nothing comes out of too many voices! Can a person be fired on WhatsApp? You explain it logically, and you send them off. Rıza Çalımbay is a legend ten times bigger than me! What happened, coach? Did it happen like that? That's why I liked the show of affection towards Arda Turan. These are the values of the clubs. "I SAID 'I WILL COME IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED'"I told Hüseyin Yücel that I would come if these problems are solved! What will I do in this situation, will I cover up these issues? What is being discussed is very serious! And former presidents are also talking, warning not to make transfers. Has there ever been such a thing in Beşiktaş's history? I don't remember. "I HOPE THEY WIN AND THE CHAOS ENDS"I don't know Kaan Şakul! I really don't know these names. I hope they beat Hatayspor and this chaos ends! Serdar Topraktepe knows the team; he must have concentrated them. I hope they win and this chaos ends! "AM I GOING TO GET COMPENSATION? I'M NOT THAT KIND OF PERSON"You came and signed, but things don't seem to be getting better... There was an election in May, and another president came, and I will resign. The person said, 'I don't want to work with you,' what will I do? Am I going to get compensation? I am not that kind of person. "EXPECTING SUCCESS IN THIS ENVIRONMENT IS FANTASY"A healthy working environment must be prepared. Don't expect anything from the football team in this chaos! The issue is far beyond football now! Hüseyin Yücel thinks about carrying this until May, but will this situation last until May? There are payments and salaries to be made! How will this go? Expecting success in such an environment would be unrealistic. Hüseyin Yücel is very self-sacrificing and has spent a lot of money. "DON'T TURN AGAINST ME"The fans suffer the most in these matters! Why are they enduring this suffering? I would work for free at Beşiktaş; I have already done so! You would laugh at the numbers! Right now, the issue is not the football team or the head coach! Other problems need to be solved, and a healthy working environment needs to be created. Expecting success from the head coach would be unrealistic. The most important issue for me is the fans. They should not turn against me; there is no issue on my part. If the fans say come, I will come. It's not a problem, but it can't be done with these problems! I can't be successful! I have a future too; I am a head coach! I want to work in a place where I can be successful and happy. Because it is very difficult for me! "HASAN ARAT! TRAGEDY"How did you bring the Beşiktaş community to this situation in such a short time? This question should be asked to Hasan Arat; he needs to answer. I am curious on my own behalf. When he came, he painted such a picture that everyone believed! The current situation is a tragedy! "THERE WILL BE NO MORE MEETINGS"I said that I do not want to be in this environment and told Hüseyin Yücel, 'I apologize.' I have my own future plans and projects in my mind. There will be no more meetings; this issue is closed."
