Only 3 people were able to do this! Historic success from Serdar Topraktepe.

Serdar Topraktepe, the technical director who took charge of the team in critical periods in Beşiktaş, wrote his name in golden letters in the history of the black and white team by winning the Ziraat Turkish Cup by defeating Trabzonspor 3-2.



Serdar Topraktepe became the 3rd person to achieve this. With Beşiktaş winning the Ziraat Turkish Cup, Serdar Topraktepe became the 3rd person to win this cup both as a player and as a coach in the black and white team. Previously, Sergen Yalçın and Tayfur Havutçu had achieved this success.



Meanwhile, Beşiktaş Technical Director Serdar Topraktepe experienced the joy of winning a cup with the black and white team in his first coaching experience. After his football career, the 47-year-old young coach, who gained coaching experience in the youth teams of Beşiktaş Club, took charge of the black and white team twice as a coach this season. After Burak Yılmaz's departure in the middle of the season, the coaching seat was entrusted to Topraktepe, who later continued his duty as an assistant coach with the arrival of Portuguese coach Fernando Santos. The black and white management, who parted ways with Santos, entrusted the team to Serdar Topraktepe until the end of the season with their decision. Topraktepe, who did not disappoint the expectations with the results he achieved in the league and the cup after taking office, achieved his first championship by reaching the happy ending in the Ziraat Turkish Cup.



Another person who experienced the joy of winning a cup for the first time was Beşiktaş President Hasan Arat. Hasan Arat, who took office on December 3, 2023, at the Extraordinary General Assembly of Beşiktaş Club, won his first cup during his presidency.
