The race to survive as it looks to me at this point. I think 40 points will be enough to stay up. We have 16 more games to play (I include here the match vs Gaziantep). My ambition is not to lose any, but here are the Maths behind my plan to avoid relegation.

In the second half, we should have been awarded a penalty as well. I can't believe what we're living right now. Malatya is disadvantaged again and again. Penalty today and penalty against Kayseri. I'm doing the maths: we would have been on 18 points, above the relegation zone.

A lot of you are messaging me and I enjoy talking to you, I tried replying to as many messages as I could. But you have to understand I am just the coach here and I need to focus on the work I'm doing with my boys.

I accepted a challenge not for the money (which I also didn't receive), but for the passion and love I have for the Turkish game. Now, I'm ready for a new challenge, for a new dawn. The best is yet to come. All the best, Marius

I would not want to focus on a coach who did not win anything. I understand that I'm bothering him, but I am doing my job honestly and I love working in Turkey. I don't know if Irfan Buz would even be able to coach a second-tier team in Romania, to be honest.

My memories from Saudi Arabia have stayed with me. I'm looking at these trophies every day in my house and I remember the good times there. I also want to thank the Saudi fans for their messages on Twitter and Instagram. #الشباب

And maybe I'll come to Turkey again in the future. It's a country I love and respect. I also have full respect for all those I worked with at Malatya and for the supporters. Believe me, I gave everything under very difficult circumstances.
