STANDING APPLICATION FOR MINUTES
Fenerbahçe Board Member Burak Kızılhan, after making statements regarding the annual report, said, “It’s time to say goodbye to valuable İsmail Hodja, who served as the coach of our team during the tough days of Fenerbahçe in January and helped reunite our community.” Then, all the members in the hall gave İsmail Kartal a standing ovation for minutes. İsmail Kartal, who came to the hall with his wife and son, responded to this favor with applause in the same way.
FROM ALI KOÇ TO İSMAİL KARTAL
Speaking after taking the podium, Ali Koç used the following expressions regarding İsmail Kartal: “First of all, I would like to welcome my teacher, his precious wife Sema Hanım, and his only son Emre. Thank you for not breaking us down. We had a wish and we conveyed it to our teacher. He didn’t break us either. We asked him to thank, thank and say goodbye. Before I share my feelings and thoughts, about our teacher, about the process of coming to Fenerbahçe this time. -more to come- We would like to share with you in a short video what difficulties he came to office and what he did.”
“İSMAİL HOCA CONTACT US”
“Ismail Hodja came to a very heavy team at that time. He came himself. Because, like all of us, he contacted us because of what we went through while watching the matches, because he suffered while watching a team that suddenly went into turbulence and nothing was going well in the league, which we once again started with great hopes and dominated the league for the first 8-9 weeks. Well it’s past. Because the load was heavy. The atmosphere was negative. He kind of gave a magic wand in his hand to a community going through hard times. More importantly, it united the tribunes and reconciled them. It filled the stands. It gave hope, it made the stands happy. He made this difficult path beautiful for us.”
Fenerbahçe President Ali Koç invited İsmail Kartal and his family to the podium.

“HE SERVED OUR MOSQUE FOR 18.5 YEARS”
“Our teacher played in 175 matches in his 10-year career in Fenerbahçe. Apart from that, he served our community for a total of 18.5 years at various levels, not only as a team coach, but also as a coach. It has always been the clean and bright face of the football climate, which I have known since my young years, and which is getting more corrupt and ethical values are being turned upside down with each passing day. Whether as a football player or as a coach.”
“IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO ANSWER THE REASON FOR THE SEPARATION”
“No matter how we look at it, it was not easy for us to make the decision to leave. I can say that it was the hardest decision we made in our four-year tenure. You might be thinking, ‘Then why change?’ It is very, very difficult to give an answer to this decision. But we made such a decision. We also dealt with our teacher. We never played undercover. From the very beginning, from the first day we sat down with our teacher, we have clearly explained our intention and what we want to do. This came up several times during his tenure. It is really very difficult to answer this. But I also know that İsmail Hodja may cross paths with this community again before a long time.”

“WE KNEW SEMA HANIM NEW”
“You may not know Ms. Sema (Ismail Kartal’s wife). My late grandfather always used to say, ‘Behind a successful man there must always be a strong woman’. We have met for a long time, but we have just gotten to know Ms. Sema. We have just learned the place and value of our teacher in his life. Personally, on behalf of the board of directors, thank you very much. During this period, she did not go home, Sema Hanım accepted it with understanding. It came to pass, morale collapsed, his family stood upright behind him. The first few weeks were tough. European Cup, Turkish Cup. But our teacher did not have a magic wand. But what he said he would do, he did. Fortunately, Fenerbahçe has a value like İsmail Kartal.”
It is the spirit within which gives life to Çubuklu! Thanks to our sticks for their efforts…
İsmail Kartal, who took the podium after Ali Koç, used the following statements:
“First of all, I don’t know what to say right now. I have loved Fenerbahçe as a family all my life. If I became Ismail Kartal from Fenerbahce, it was thanks to this crest. The meaning of the crest of our club is much greater than it appears, than what is written. When we discussed the colors of this coat of arms, we understood and saw that it was a unique coat of arms in the world. I’m not a person who likes to talk too much. I held a meeting with my players on the first day I took office. I am a person who conveys my feelings to the person in front of me very sincerely and clearly. I’ve never acted my whole life, I can’t. I told them this. I said, ‘We have a debt’. They were all surprised.”

“I COME HERE FOR THIS”
“We have a debt to pay, that’s why I came. I said this debt will be paid. They stopped and said, ‘Hodja, whose debt is this, to whom will we pay’. I showed the fans and the community. There will come a day when 50 thousand people will come here. This is our football player, our team should fight like this, fight like this, that’s why I came here, we will succeed in this. I said that this fan will not forget you for the rest of your life. When we created this, I said that we will be the champion team of the second half, the team that won the most matches. We have multi-character players. We worked hard together and we have come to this day. We finished the season well. Everyone appreciated the football played by Fenerbahçe. The results we got are clear, we finished the season in a good way.”
“One of our team the game It has a culture. Our fans are also used to this game. With a few transfers together with our new coach, this team will become champions in the new season, God willing. Chairman Ali Koç, who has always supported me throughout this process, we have been friends since the age of 17-18, I would like to thank the staff in Samandıra and my players who have the biggest share. He said you are the boss here, do whatever you want. This is an important word for the coach. They said they are with you in every decision you make. I felt more comfortable with the high self-confidence given by my president and my managers. Together we achieved this success.”
