It was confirmed by the Buccaneers boss last week that the Turkish coach resigned from his coaching role at the club via email in the early hours of Wednesday morning last week.
In his interview with Soccer Laduma this week, Ertugral has confirmed that he managed to pay his respects to the Bucs chairman on his way out of the club.
"I did, I did. I had to pay respect because the chairman is a great leader. He called me in and asked about my views and ambition. I respect him very much, so it was important that I told him so that the club can grow from here. One hand doesn't make noise; it is only when you use both hands that you can clap. So there are always two sides to a coin. Great leaders know that and I'm very thankful that I got the opportunity to speak to the chairman," said Ertugral.
However, the former Kaizer Chiefs coach wouldn't divulge the details of the meeting.
"No, no, no, obviously you don't discuss family issues outside of the family or in public. I have to respect the club's profile and it's not necessary for me to explain myself to the public. I'd like to keep that discussion between me and the chairman," explained Ertugral.
