Cenk Doğan asks to leave Hatayspor
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Ünal Durmuşhan: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hatayspor have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.
