I can’t find any credible sources reporting that Atakan Karazor slapped head coach Sebastian Hoeneß during a press conference or at any event. Although both figures have shared many public appearances—such as press conferences before Champions League matches (VfB Stuttgart, Ruetir)—nothing documented indicates any such aggressive behavior occurred.
However, Karazor did find himself embroiled in a significant controversy: in June 2022, he was arrested in Ibiza on sexual assault charges, from which he was released on €50,000 bail after several weeks in custody (Wikipedia). The case has continued to hang over his career, with the club, Turkish federation, and media acknowledging the ongoing legal proceedings (kicker, Haberler, Wikipedia).
Despite these serious allegations, in mid‑2024, VfB Stuttgart extended Karazor’s contract through 2028 and appointed him team captain—an indication that the club maintained confidence in him during this period (Wikipedia, Aussiedlerbote).
So, while the reported physical altercation—Karazor slapping Hoeneß—views like a dramatic scenario, there’s no evidence to support it. It appears likely to be either a rumor or a misunderstanding. If there’s a particular video or quote you’re referring to, feel free to share more context and I’ll dig deeper.
In summary:
- No source supports that Atakan Karazor slapped Sebastian Hoeneß—no press coverage, statement, or footage suggests any violent incident between them.
- Karazor has been through a legal controversy, but still retained the trust of his club and was elevated to captaincy.
- Everything known about their professional relationship suggests it remains stable and respectful.
If you’d like to explore the legal case, Karazor’s career trajectory, or the dynamics under coach Hoeneß in more detail, I’m happy to help—just let me know!
