Fenerbahçe resolves uncertainty over Ismail Kartal's future

Fenerbahçe have settled the speculation surrounding the future of their coach Ismail Kartal, officially confirming that the manager is still in his position and has not left his role.

The club stated in a brief statement: "Our coach Ismail Kartal is still in his position," thus ending the uncertainty that followed the coach's announcement of his resignation after the 1-1 draw with Roma.

Fenerbahçe confirmed that the team will continue preparations for the upcoming match against Gaziantep, with Kartal leading the team's training tomorrow morning as part of the build-up to the clash.

The statement comes hours after Kartal announced his resignation, only for the club president to reject his request and insist on his continuation, allowing the coach to return to leading the team normally in preparation for upcoming challenges.
