The highly anticipated meeting between BEŞİKTAŞ President Serdal Adalı and Sergen Yalçın took place the other day. The meeting, which was expected to result in an agreement, ended shockingly negatively. Adalı said, “We talked with Sergen Yalçın about everything. He did not have any financial expectations. He only stated that he could not work due to family problems. We respected it.” While it was learned that the black-white team would sit at the table with alternative names upon this development, a list of 5 people also emerged. It was claimed that Kartal’s list included İbrahim Üzülmez, Ertuğrul Sağlam, Slaven Bilic, Razvan Lucescu and Niko Kovac.
FIRST CHOICE LOCAL
It is expected that the black-whites will make a decision and announce their new coach as a result of the meetings they will hold with these names in the coming days. It has been claimed that Adalı’s mind is still on Sergen Yalçın and that he wants to put the experienced name in charge of the team at the end of the season.
For this reason, it was claimed that Adalı wanted to appoint İbrahim Üzülmez or Ertuğrul Sağlam as the head of the team until the end of the season. While Üzülmez last coached Pendikspor, Sağlam was the manager of Kocaelispor. Neither man has coached a team since last season.
FOREIGNERS ARE ALSO CLEAR
While this possibility is on the table, it has been claimed that the black and white staff continues to maintain contacts with foreign teachers whom they consider to be long-term. Chief among these names is Slaven Bilic, who also coached Beşiktaş in the past. The Croatian Coach, who last coached Al-Fateh, left his job in August. Razvan Lucescu, the son of Lucescu, one of Beşiktaş’s former coaches, is also on the list. However, it was claimed that Razvan was happy in Greece and did not think of leaving.
The last name on the list stands out as Niko Kovac. Finally, the young coach who last coached Wolfsburg is currently idle. Kartal is expected to make a decision after meeting with these names.
