  "summary": "Ismail Kartal, the head coach of Fenerbahce, has abruptly resigned following a 1-1 draw with Roma in the Champions League. The Turkish club president, Aziz Yildirim, has refused to accept the resignation, stating that Kartal remains in charge and urging the club to support him. Kartal cited the pressure of the role and a mid-match incident where he was struck by a bottle as factors leading to his decision. Fenerbahce, currently ninth in the Turkish Super Lig, will continue under Kartal's leadership until Yildirim steps down.",
