The legendary football player, former coach, and congress member of Fenerbahçe, Aykut Kocaman, made statements to the press after casting his vote in the election.
"SERIOUS MISTAKES WERE MADE"
Speaking about Fenerbahçe, Kocaman said, "This will be the 8th year of this administration at Fenerbahçe. In the first 3-4 years of Fenerbahçe, there were weaknesses in the squad. Although the president and the administration say otherwise, the squads and elections were not very correct. Serious mistakes were made at times when they were needed. However, in the last 3 years, significant investments have been made in terms of coaching and the squad. But this time, the correct actions of the administrations at the right times play a decisive role. I believe that there are deficiencies in playing this role, which is at the forefront of the problems on the field," he said.
"IT'S STRANGE NOT TO HAVE OPTIONS"
In response to the question, "Your name hasn't come up much in Fenerbahçe. What do you attribute this to?" Kocaman replied, "It's a strange situation. I don't want to personalize it, but... it's strange not to even have options. Those who create this strange situation need to think about it. I have no chance to respond," he stated.
"I HOPE FENERBAHÇE DOESN'T NEED ME"
The experienced coach expressed that he would take charge of Fenerbahçe if needed, saying, "I hope Fenerbahçe doesn't need me. Fenerbahçe should always stay at the top. However, I said that when the need arises, I will step in with my whole body and being. Without any preconditions, moreover. Today is the same. I hope there won't be a need, but if there is, I am always here," he said.
