In the 15th week of the Trendyol Super League, Gençlerbirliği beat its host Karagümrük 3-0 and won two matches later.
Volkan Demirel, who took office in the Capital team 6 weeks ago, announced that he resigned after the match.
“I DON’T DO IT WILLINGLY”
Reminding that there was a change of president at yesterday’s general assembly of the Capital team, Demirel said, “I am leaving today. It is not a decision I made willingly. No one can think why I left. Because I made this decision on my own. To be more precise, I took it yesterday at noon, but I did not make them feel anything today in order not to leave the team alone. They came out and fought very well. Now they are rightfully angry with me inside, but this is a decision taken on my own behalf. That’s why I thank all of you. I have become a big Gençlerbirliği supporter.” he said.
Demirel said that his decision would not change if the new administration wanted him to stay and continued as follows:
“Mehmet (Kaya) the president brought me here. We had very good ideas about both the infrastructure and the team here. I think we did what we did. I think we changed the balance within the team a lot. We brought the team to some places, and today’s fight is already a reward for this. We only played badly in the Kocaelispor match. We had left three very heavy matches. The new management came yesterday, we met. They are all very kind. I wish good luck to the president Arda (Cakmak). I hope he will do everything he can. “I believe it, but it’s my own personality, situation and thought. Maybe the new administration has a different plan in mind, maybe it has a different coach in mind. That’s why I decided to quit, in order to reassure them.”
