It was learned that the black-whites, who continued their search for a coach after parting ways with Sergen Yalçın, were preparing to make a resounding move. Beşiktaş received a negative response from Razvan Lucescu and Filipe Luis, and was stuck with a 15 million euro exit clause for Carlos Vicens. An explosive suggestion came from the football director Önder Özen. It was claimed that Özen, in consultation with President Serdal Adalı, offered the president not money but Marcelo Bielsa, who always chooses new challenges.
