Fenerbahçe president rejects Kartal resignation after Roma draw

Ismail Kartal said he was resigning as Fenerbahçe coach right after the 1-1 draw with Roma. Club president Aziz Yildirim has other ideas. Yildirim said Kartal stays in the job, so the resignation does not stand for now. That leaves Fenerbahçe with a coach who wanted out and a board that will not let him go, which is not a comfortable place for anyone. What comes next is unclear.
