“I should be a ball boy at Chelsea is far better” “I’m leaving in January” – Former Chelsea star slams coach & club after bad treatment at present club
As he declares his intention to depart the Turkish club in January, former Chelsea and Ajax player Hakim Ziyech has given a biting indictment of Galatasaray and their manager, Okan Buruk.
The Moroccan international, who joined Galatasaray in the summer, has struggled to settle in and has now revealed his frustrations with the management. In an explosive statement, Ziyech declared, “Galatasaray, it’s over for me. I told them I’m leaving in January. They don’t ask me anything anymore; I do what I want.”
Ziyech didn’t hold back when addressing his relationship with head coach Okan Buruk, saying, “I’ve never seen such a bad coach as Okan Buruk.”
The 30-year-old also expressed complete apathy towards the club’s success, adding, “If Galatasaray can win the title? I don’t care… Leave me alone, no matter what happens. I already regret coming.”
Ziyech revealed that he had wanted to leave Galatasaray earlier, but the club blocked the move. “I was supposed to leave at the beginning of the season, but they didn’t want to. I’m leaving in January, I should be a ball boy at Chelsea is far better” he confirmed.
Reports suggest Ligue 1 side Rennes are keen on acquiring the playmaker, who will be looking to reignite his career after a turbulent spell in Turkey. For Ziyech, this departure signals another chapter in his quest to find stability and success following his departure from Chelsea.
