Aziz Yıldırım has stepped in with an uncompromising ultimatum to keep his manager at the helm.

Details: Fenerbahçe president Aziz Yıldırım delivered an explosive public response following head coach İsmail Kartal's abrupt decision to resign from his post. The tactician announced his immediate departure after an incident where a water bottle was hurled in his direction during the heated post-match aftermath, but the club's top executive refused to ratify the exit.

Speaking via Turkish outlet Aykırı, the club supremo made it unequivocally clear that he holds the ultimate authority over all managerial decisions:

"A water bottle was thrown at him... that's why he wants to leave! He doesn't need to tell me, 'I will continue' — I am older than him. I looked at him and said: YOU WILL CONTINUE! As long as I do not leave, he will remain at his post."

The president's fiery veto completely overturned the press conference statement, ensuring that the veteran coach remains in charge of the Istanbul giants despite intense fan unrest and domestic pressure.

It is worth noting that 65-year-old tactician İsmail Kartal has undertaken multiple managerial spells at Fenerbahçe, boasting a career win percentage of over 68% on the Yellow Canaries' bench.
