    "Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about my experience with the club.

There were times when my word and respect for fundamental values were not kept.
    "Until the very end, the commitments made were not honored, to the point that I had no choice but to give up part of my salary and other contractual rights that I had already earned through my work (the published figure is incorrect).
    "For me, in life and in work, there are principles that must never be violated, such as respect for the rights of every person.
    "Not recognizing and compensating for what has been earned seems unacceptable to me." and contrary to the values of justice and professionalism in which I believe.

    "A special thanks also to the coach and his fantastic staff; I am sure they will continue to write Galatasaray's history.
    "My most sincere thanks to all my colleagues for the moments we shared and to all the people who work in the training facilities." Como finished 10th in their first season back in the top flight after many years last season.
