Fenerbahce president overrides Kartal's post-match resignation after bottle incident
Fenerbahce head coach Ismail Kartal announced his resignation immediately after a 1-1 Champions League draw with Roma, citing a water bottle thrown at his head by a spectator. However, club president Aziz Yildirim rejected the resignation minutes later, insisting Kartal would remain in charge. The incident occurred during Fenerbahce's return to the Champions League after 18 years, with the team currently sitting ninth in the Turkish Super Lig.
