Ali Gültiken, one of the legendary figures of Beşiktaş, announced that he could aspire to the presidency of the black-and-white club in the future.
Ali Gültiken, who was a guest on Feyyaz Uçar's YouTube channel, made important statements about Beşiktaş during a chat program with his former teammates Feyyaz Uçar and Metin Tekin. Ali Gültiken gave a strong signal that he could take on the presidency or a senior management role at the black-and-white club in the future.
"WE HAVE A VERY VALUABLE GENERATION"
In response to Feyyaz Uçar's question, "Ali, is there a good project for the upcoming period? To be beneficial to Beşiktaş...", Gültiken said, "I think it's like this, my dear Feyyaz; we have all experienced magnificent days within this community, and we have a very valuable generation. It's not just us; from Şifo, Rıza, Gökhan, Ulvi, Kadir... We could name many. All of them have truly important experiences. They have made great contributions to Beşiktaş, and I believe they will continue to do so."
"IT'S TIME TO THINK FOR MYSELF"
Stating that they have reached a certain maturity age-wise, Gültiken emphasized that it was time to take on new responsibilities in serving Beşiktaş, saying, "In terms of our age, we have reached a certain age. In terms of service, from now on, whether it's the presidency or points that could influence presidential processes... I believe it's time for me to seriously consider these points for myself."
"WE WILL WEAR THE BOOTS TOGETHER"
After Metin Tekin said, "We would support with excitement," Gültiken stated they are ready to take responsibility if Beşiktaş needs it:
"As I said, we will wear the boots together. In the upcoming process, our wish is, of course, for our team to be successful, for our management to be successful, and for processes to continue with continuity. But in the event of a problematic situation that may arise, we will all put our hands under that stone together."
"WE WILL ANNOUNCE OUR CANDIDACY"
In response to Feyyaz Uçar's comment, "So you're saying that when it comes to the presidency, I will put my hand under the stone," Gültiken replied, "I say we will do it together. Presidency... I say we will announce our candidacy together."
