'Lack of support'
The 41-year-old cited "a lack of support" as the reason for his premature departure. "If I had stayed on I would have guided the club to an even more prosperous position," said Çalimbay, referring to the progress he has made this season in taking Ankaragücü to eighth place in the 18-team division.
