Fenerbahçe Fans: Kartal, Resign!

Fenerbahçe fans demanded the resignation of İsmail Kartal after a heavy defeat to Aston Villa.

According to "Varzesh Se", Ismail Kartal passed one of the most bitter nights of his coaching career in England. In the second week of the European Champions League, Fenerbahçe lost against Aston Villa with a score of 6-0 at the Villapark Stadium, and the former head coach of Persepolis, in addition to this heavy result, also faced the protest of his team's fans.

Fenerbahçe fans, who were present at the guest stand, reacted after receiving the fifth goal and chanted "Ismail Kartal, resign!" they nodded Ambassador Arjan Zaman announced this protest in the 78th minute of the match, when the score was 5-0 and the sixth goal had not yet entered the goal of the Turkish representative.

Fenerbahçe ended the first half with three conceded goals and could not close the gap in the second half. Two goals by Russ Barkley in the 68th and 72nd minutes made the score 5-0, and the guests protested. Finally, Tommy Abraham scored the sixth goal in the 90th minute to complete the bitter night of Kartal and Fenerbahçe fans.

This is not the first experience of receiving six goals in a European match for Fenerbahçe led by Kartal. On November 30, 2023, this team lost 6-1 against Nordsjælland Denmark in the European Conference League. Nearly three years later, that nightmare was repeated in England, and this time, the fans chanted resignation during the match against the head coach.
