Fenerbahçe is one of the best teams in the league, but if you look at the history of its head coaches, you’ll see that İsmail Kartal has served as head coach at Fenerbahçe for many different seasons . Although he didn’t leave the club on good terms at the end of most of those seasons, he was called back one or two seasons later. This season, even though Fenerbahçe put together a very strong roster, the pressure on İsmail Kartal increased after the team started the league with a record of 2 wins and 2 losses in 4 matches. I think he was just waiting for the right moment to resign, and after securing the draw in this match, he resigned to avoid being remembered negatively.
I have read a lot of news about Ismail Kartal's decision & based on everything I've read, there were several moments that led him to make that decision. The first point concerns the pressure to achieve results, this actually stems from the supporters. The second, incident occurred during the match against AS Roma, when a supporter threw a bottle at him.
Fortunately, the Fenerbahçe president rejected Ismail Kartal's request to resign, which I felt was actually premature, so let's see what he might be able to achieve this season.
