Arveladze resigns after ordering his Kasimpasa team to concede

Shota Arveladze has resigned as
Kasimpasa coach on the same night
that he ordered his team to concede a
goal out of respect for the concept of
'fair play'.
Ryan Donk opened the scoring 19
minutes into Friday's Super Lig clash with Konyaspor in Konya but
the visitors had stopped playing because of an injury to Kasimpasa
attacker Ryan Babel.
As a result, Arveldadze instructed his players to let Konyaspor
equalise, thus allowing Hasan Kabze to stroll through to score
immediately after the re-start.
Kabze later earned Konyaspor all three points with a 40th-minute
penalty, leaving Kasimpasa with just one win from their last five
league games.
However, Arveladze was unrepentant when it came to discussing the
game's biggest talking point, insisting that he would take the same
decision again if given the chance.
"I do not want to talk about this situation," the Georgian coach told
reporters. "Anyone would make same decision as me.
"I decided to make this choice because this is what Kasimpasa really
are.
"I talked with my guys after match and told them that I'm going to
resign. Thank you very much to everybody in club."
Arveladze, who represented the likes of Ajax, Rangers, AZ and
Levante during his playing days, had been in charge of Kasimpasa
since October 2012.

thats truly fair play. but we live in a world of hypocrisy.
