"I am leaving the position, I am resigning. I was very happy to be here. Mehmet Kaya was the president who brought me to this club. Mr. Arda was elected president, I congratulate him too. They treated me very politely yesterday. But I had already made this decision yesterday. I didn't say it so as not to leave the team alone and because there was one day left for the game."
Volkan Demirel's resignation has caused a wide resonance in the Turkish football community, and it is expected that a decision will be made regarding the new head coach in "Gençlerbirliği" in the coming days.
