Kazancı: We Were Ready for Belözoğlu's Departure

Ceyhun Kazancı, Kasımpaşa Club Deputy Chairman and CEO, was the guest on "Gelmez Dediğin Yerden," presented by HT Spor Intelligence Chief Sezgin Gelmez. Kazancı described last season as a chaotic environment and said the club wanted to become a production center.

Kazancı said Emre Belözoğlu's departure had been considered within the club in advance. He stated that things not going well at Fenerbahçe made the coach a natural candidate, and said they would announce the new head coach within 24 hours of the departure. He said they had been working on several candidates and noted that Alfred was one of them and was seen as the most suitable name for the club.

Kazancı explained that the club's criterion was that the new coach should not make very radical changes. He said the coach had also expressed a view in this direction and had prepared his plans by watching all the matches over the course of two to three days. Kazancı added that the Fenerbahçe management had asked for permission regarding Belözoğlu, and the club had approved the meeting.
