İlkin Aydin Criticizes Greek Team PAOK After Galatasaray’s Championship Victory

Galatasaray Daikin triumphed over Greek team PAOK in the Balkan Cup final, securing the championship with a dominant 3-0 win. The yellow-reds lifted the trophy, with new captain İlkin Aydın playing a pivotal role. Aydın’s comments during the post-match interview made headlines, particularly her subtle reference to former Galatasaray coach Ataman Güneyligil.

İlkin Aydın, who was named the tournament’s best spiker, made a pointed remark during a live broadcast, saying: “I just want to say Ataman Abi and laugh.” The comment stirred attention, as Güneyligil had left his role at Galatasaray Women’s Volleyball Team last year to coach PAOK in Greece, sparking some controversy.

The national volleyball player’s words hinted at lingering sentiments regarding Güneyligil’s departure, as he had faced criticism for his decision to take charge of PAOK.

What happened?

Head coach Ataman Güneyligil, who signed a contract with PAOK, had his contract terminated. The reason was Mustafa Kemal Atatürk posts on his Instagram account.
