ANKARA (AA) – The head coach of Turkish champions Fenerbahce has resigned. Ersun Yanal quit his post on Saturday amid media reports of disagreements with club chairman Aziz Yildirim.
In a statement to The Anadolu Agency, Yanal said: "It's impossible to maintain my job in these circumstances as a head coach.”
He added that it had been a great honor to manage Fenerbahce and thanked the fans, board, media and sports community for supporting him last season.
Yanal, 52, went on: "Principles are superior to the money that we earn and they are indispensable for success as well.”
Last season’s Spor Toto Super League winners ended a two-season league-winning streak by arch-rivals Galatasaray.
