Medianews.az reports that Emreli spoke about this on the "90 Minutes" program aired live on "CBC Sport."
Mahir Emreli even disclosed that he spoke directly with Acun Ilıcalı and revealed details of their discussions:
"However, when I read in the press that Jakirović, with whom I once worked together at Zagreb 'Dinamo,' was coming as the head coach to 'Hull City,' I changed my mind. I have great respect for Jakirović, but I knew I was not suitable for the system he played in." (sportinfo.az)
