Following the Turkish executive's statement about Aysal and Ataman meeting, the coach of Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens argued that he has no intention of returning to Galatasaray as a coach and that he wanted to serve as president one day.
''There was no meeting between me and my esteemed elder and president, Unal Aysal, regarding Galatasaray coaching," Ataman told SOZCU Spor.
"I wish to serve successfully for many years in our national team and Panathinaikos, where I am currently the head coach. If I return to Galatasaray one day, I will return as president, not as a coach."
