AI summary
İsmail Kartal stunned observers by announcing his resignation from the Fenerbahce dugout during the post-match press conference following the 1-1 draw with Roma in the Champions League on Wednesday. The Turkish coach, who had steered the club to European qualification just weeks earlier, cited internal issues without elaborating, refusing to take further questions.
Within hours, however, club president Aziz Yıldırım issued a statement contradicting the resignation, declaring Kartal remained in charge and calling for supporters to back the manager rather than attack him on social media. The confusion underscored mounting pressure on Kartal despite his recent success.
