Fenerbahce coach targeted by bottle, quits but president says no

Fenerbahce coach Ismail Kartal resigned after he was targeted by a bottle thrown from the crowd during the club's 1-1 Champions League draw with Roma on Thursday, but his president rejected it.

"I quit and I'm not coming back," the 65-year-old, who was only hired in June, said on beIN Sports Turkey after the game.

However, Fenerbahce president Aziz Yildirim said that Kartal would be going nowhere.

"Ismail Kartal is at the start of his mission. We support him," said Yildirim.

The Istanbul club said on social media that the person who had thrown a bottle at Kartal had been identified and banned from the stadium.
