Mustafa Denizli, whose name was suggested for the presidential candidacy by former chairman Nafiz Zorlu before the extraordinary general assembly to be held on April 28 in Altay, on the border of relegation in Spor Toto Super League, stated that he could not be a candidate for the presidency due to his ongoing work in Istanbul, and said, “Presidency by remote control. won’t” message.
Mustafa Denizli, one of the masters of Turkish football, who played football in the black-and-white club for 18 years and played the coaching duties until the middle of this season, said that he can support the new management that will take office in a television program he participated in, and that if the team is relegated in the Super League, it will be reinstated by preserving its staff next year. He emphasized that he is confident that he will return to the Super League.
“The presidency is a very different thing,” said Mustafa Denizli. I have to complete the work I have given here in at least 3-4 months. But I go to Izmir 2-3 days a week and do whatever they want. The presidency is something that wants to be there constantly. There is no presidency with a remote control. I am my club no matter who the president and management are. “As soon as he asks me for help, I don’t say for the club or the team, I run to help. It is an honor for me to be deemed worthy of the presidency, it is a great thing, but under my current conditions, it is out of question for me to be a candidate.”
“ALTAY WILL FIND BRAVE HEARTS”
Stating that Altay’s debt is around 350-400 million TL, Mustafa Denizli said, “There is a serious picture in front of the club. This picture is not an easy picture for the long term, nor is it an insurmountable picture. This community has the human potential to overcome it. Currently, there are young friends who have been named for the presidential candidacy, and Altay people who have grown up from the tribune. But their work individually does not help much, they need to come together. If anyone, including the resigned President Özgür Ekmekçioğlu, asks for anything from me, I will definitely be there for them next week. There is an election. Altay is a great community and it will definitely find brave hearts to overcome this difficulty. No matter what task they give me, I will be by their side in every way. But it is not possible for me to live in Izmir for at least 4-5 months. But I can go and come. Therefore, such a presidency cannot be held anyway. ” said.
“EVEN IF THIS TEAM FAILS, IT WILL START AGAIN”
Explaining that Altay should protect his squad in case of relegation in the Super League, Mustafa Denizli said, “My problem is that Altay lost this year. If there is still a light in football, he can continue. But let’s say he lost, next year is very important for us. Next year. “If this team is preserved, believe me, it will be very easy to return. This is clearly clear. The community has to save the next year, we have to ensure this. Even if this team falls, they go and come as guests,” he said.
“My Daughter’s Discomfort BROKEN MY PSYCHOLOGY”
Explaining that he has experienced the worst series of his coaching career in Altay this season, Mustafa Denizli said:
“We had some difficulties, one of which was my personal difficulty. My daughter had a serious illness, it lasted for a long time. My psychology was very deteriorated. We had a goal here. I know myself and the community. I know what we can do with this team. I never had to worry about falling. It’s not possible to be a person who quits. My psychology changed when I got good news about my daughter. The painting is in front of us, I took this responsibility. Was I such a thoughtless person to experience the relegation of the community I was in at the stadium where my name was given? It would have been better for me if I lost my life there. It was better for me to say goodbye to life than to live. We need to have a happy environment to be able to do these. The team is the result. There were problems on behalf of the team, not mine. When you see a person who does not smile when you enter a facility, this electricity lowers your energy, too. We could overcome this. Footballers When he often says ‘Sir, the payments are not made’, this concentration loses trust and authority. causes it. Their duration should be short. As long as the problem continues for a long time, the chances of authority begin to weaken. However, we could have overcome them.”
“I DO NOT REQUEST MONEY FOR THE TIME I WORKED”
Stating that he did not leave Altay voluntarily, Mustafa Denizli gave the following statements about his contract not being terminated for a long time:
“The club did not want to continue with me. It was the president who had to terminate it. There was a perception in the community as if I did not terminate it. I have a 30-year coaching life. I have worked in so many clubs, let alone Altay, did I leave one of them with problems? We put it on the ground and did I experience anything with other teams? Do I ask the club for money for the period that I did not work because the club terminated the contract? Could such a thing be in question? We had to pay an unnecessary penalty. Some of our fans justifiably sent messages. There is a penalty for payment because of me. Could it be? Why, the president didn’t trust me? You terminate the contract, if one day I have any request from the club, if I want a penny for the time I’m not working, then you say that our Great Mustafa demanded something like this from us.”
“I called the president several times. I said, ‘I called 10 times and you didn’t return.’ My teacher said, ‘You didn’t call 10 times,’ and I called twice. It was not nice to break up with the president like this. It was the first time we sat in Istanbul and chatted. Our goal is to make our club good. As a result, the club had problems when I left. The President said, ‘We paid 3 million testimonials, we paid a lot of money in the time of Mustafa Denizli.’ A Super League team paid 3 million testimonials and transferred 9-10 players. It was an unnecessary, upsetting statement. “I watched more than 230 football players for 40 days. Just because it would come with low costs and provide benefits. It was a wrong approach. It was an approach that hurt me. There was no need for them.”
