With Önder Özen taking on the role of Football Director at Beşiktaş, the black-and-whites accelerated the process for a new coach and took action for Australian manager Ange Postecoglou. President Serdal Adalı is set to make the first official contact with Ange Postecoglou.
After parting ways with head coach Sergen Yalçın and Football A Team General Coordinator Serkan Reçber at Beşiktaş, the restructuring moves in the football branch continue at full speed. Önder Özen, who was appointed as Football Director at the black-and-white club, has determined the new head coach.
ÖNDER ÖZEN'S PREFERENCE: POSTECOGLOU
Rolling up his sleeves as soon as he took office and accelerating the search for a head coach, experienced football man Önder Özen placed world-renowned coach Ange Postecoglou at the top of his list. The 60-year-old Australian coach, who has 16 cup successes in his career and made a name for himself by winning the UEFA Europa League championship with Tottenham in the 2024-2025 season, has become the number one candidate for Beşiktaş's new coach. It is reported that Postecoglou, who most recently coached Nottingham Forest in England, is quite warm to the Beşiktaş project.
PRESIDENT ADALI IS GOING TO FINALIZE THE DEAL
Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı, taking action in line with Önder Özen's report, is personally moving to establish the first official contact with Ange Postecoglou. The black-and-white management is expected to complete official negotiations and finalize the transfer shortly to discuss terms and prepare the groundwork for an agreement with the experienced coach.
