Fenerbahce Condemn Brawl After Loss to Galatasaray
The club said Kuyt will stay in charge while it searches for a permanent coach after Kartal quit following the derby defeat.
- On Monday, Fenerbahce condemned a pitch brawl following their 2-1 Turkish Super Lig derby defeat to Galatasaray at Rams Park in Istanbul, where players and staff rushed the field after a scuffle.
- Galatasaray alleged Fenerbahce provoked tensions from their stadium arrival, including making gestures before kickoff and antagonising opponents during the match.
- The Turkish champions accused Fenerbahce player Archie Brown of physically attacking captain Abdulkerim Bardakci and criticized the conduct of Brown, Kerem Akturkoglu, and Mert Hakan Yandas.
- Rejecting the allegations, Galatasaray described Fenerbahce's statement as an attempt to influence disciplinary proceedings, calling it "a clear example of the saying, 'The thief cries first to make the householder look guilty.'"
- Fenerbahce has called for an investigation and disciplinary action against those responsible for the brawl, while Reuters contacted the Turkish Football Federation for comment on the incident.
