WHAT HAPPENED DURING HASAN ARAT'S RESIGNATION PROCESS

The poor performance of the football team, along with some disagreements among certain board members, played a significant role in the process that led to president Hasan Arat's resignation.

Due to the growing issues stemming from disagreements within the board, the general coordinator of the football teams, Samet Aybaba, and board advisor Brad Friedel parted ways on the night of November 26-27.

The decision to inform Aybaba, who is considered one of the legendary footballers of the black-and-white team, via WhatsApp drew criticism, while on November 27, vice president Onur Göçmez and board member responsible for communication Işıl Zeybek resigned from their positions. After the board meeting held at Tüpraş Stadium, Göçmez decided to withdraw his resignation, and Hüseyin Yücel was appointed as the head of Football AŞ.

In a statement, Hasan Arat emphasized, "Genuine shocks are better than false balances. Beşiktaş is not a club to be subjected to a coup." He stated that he would continue in his role and that they would overcome the difficulties.

However, just 48 hours after these statements, following a 3-1 defeat against the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv in the 5th week of the UEFA Europa League, he announced his resignation for personal reasons (health issues).
