Regarding the farewell of Karadağ, who was discharged from the hospital, the green-black club said, “Since we agreed with our head coach Cengiz Karadağ that we will not be able to bring the rest of the season in a healthy manner due to the serious health problem he has, we have mutually terminated his current contract. We wish you success in your next coaching career.”
While the match that was supposed to be played against Kocaeli BŞB Kağıtspor in Akhisar on Friday was also postponed, it was announced that the interrupted Bornova Bld Karşıyaka match would continue on 2 February from the second half. The medical teams of Bornova Municipality made the first response when 51-year-old Cengiz Karadağ lost consciousness and collapsed with 4 minutes and 48 seconds before the end of the second period in the match played on January 22 at İzmir Altındağ Atatürk Sports Complex. While Karadağ was taken to the hospital on a stretcher, the match was postponed to a later date to start from where it left off at the end of the first half. Montenegro, who underwent angiography at Ege University Hospital and stented his clogged heart vessel, was discharged after staying in the intensive care unit.
