Beşiktaş announced that reports of a preliminary agreement with Oliver Glasner do not reflect the truth. The black-and-white club stated that their search for a head coach is ongoing and that when a new manager is determined, it will be announced through official channels.
Before the new season, Beşiktaş, which continues its search for a technical director, has seen a surprise name come to the fore. It has been claimed that the black-and-whites have reached a preliminary agreement with Oliver Glasner, who won the UEFA Conference League championship with Crystal Palace.
GLASNER IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST
It was alleged that Beşiktaş, which has been working intensively on the technical director position, turned to Oliver Glasner after failing to reach results in meetings with names such as Filipe Luis, Carlos Vicens, and Razvan Lucescu. It was stated that the black-and-white management has been conducting contacts with the Austrian coach in secrecy for some time.
DREW ATTENTION WITH CONFERENCE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP
The 51-year-old coach achieved a significant success at the helm of Crystal Palace. Glasner, who won the UEFA Conference League championship with the English team, has become one of the coaches making a name for himself in European football. It was stated that the experienced coach's contract with Crystal Palace will end on June 30.
2+1 YEAR OFFER FROM BEŞİKTAŞ
According to the news from Sözcü, Beşiktaş President Serdal Adalı and his management offered Glasner a 2+1 year contract. It was claimed that the black-and-whites offered the Austrian coach an annual salary of 5 million euros. It was stated that significant progress was made in the meetings between the parties.
MILAN IS ALSO INVOLVED
It was reported that major European clubs have also shown interest in Oliver Glasner. While it was noted that Italian giant Milan is also following the experienced coach, it was claimed that Beşiktaş has gained a significant advantage in the transfer. The news stated that, unless a last-minute surprise development occurs, Glasner is close to becoming Beşiktaş's new technical director.
