Ismail Kartal returns to coach Fenerbahçe

In a report published by ورزش سه, the main channel that covered the move, it was confirmed that the Turkish coach Ismail Kartal was officially appointed to the position of Fenerbahçe coach. The appointment comes following the victory of Aziz Yıldırım in the club's presidential elections last week, a decision that was quickly made by the new management.

According to ورزش سه, this is Kartal's fourth term at the club, as he previously led the team to the league runner-up spot on three different occasions. The source notes that Kartal, who also coached the Persepolis club for a short period, is now returning to what is described in the article as his "permanent home."

The news of the appointment gained widespread resonance in other Iranian sports channels. کانال فوتبال برتر ࡆ لیگ برتر 360, آخرین خبر ورزشی, and کانال هواداران پرسپولیس ایران all confirmed the news of the appointment officially. The channels are focusing primarily on Kartal's past at Persepolis and his return to the top Turkish league.
