Colombian striker transferred from Saudi Arabia at the beginning of the season John Duran, Despite his on-field performance, he was sent away due to disciplinary problems.
Jhon Duran, who came to the fore with his past problems during his transfer from Saudi Arabia, left the Fenerbahçe squad due to his adaptation process that was below expectations and his undisciplined behavior within the team.
The efforts of the club management and technical staff to win the player did not yield results.
The road to separation accelerated as the discomfort within the team increased.
Disciplinary problems came to the fore
According to the reports of the technical staff, Duran’s reluctant participation in training and his extremely relaxed attitude in the last month attracted attention. This situation was evaluated negatively in terms of discipline within the team.
It was stated that the player sometimes displayed a distant and harsh attitude towards his teammates and club staff, and that these behaviors caused unrest in the locker room.
The management’s efforts were unsuccessful
Although President Sadettin Saran solved the housing problem the player had when he came to Türkiye and supported him with one-on-one meetings throughout the process, the expected change could not be achieved.
It was stated that the most challenging process for coach Domenico Tedesco was experienced in the Konyaspor match. Duran’s reactions when he was taken out of the game were decisive in the technical team’s decision to leave.
It was learned that the general opinion within the team was that the player had a negative impact on the current structure. After this feedback, the club decided not to continue with Duran.
Remarkable incident during the sentencing process
According to journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, it was claimed that after the fine given to Duran, the player tried to respond with a wristwatch worth several times the fine. It was stated that this incident was received negatively within the club.
Jhon Duran played in 21 matches in the Super League this season. The Colombian center forward contributed 5 goals and 3 assists in the league.
