Beşiktaş will host VavaCars Fatih Karagümrük this evening. The match to be played at Tüpraş Stadium will start at 19.00. Portuguese coach Fernando Santos, who was appointed to Beşiktaş by President Hasan Arat, will take the field for the first time today at the head of the black-white team. The experienced coach wants to win the match to be played this evening, get three points in front of the black and white fans, whom he will meet for the first time, and demonstrate his difference. In addition to Chamberlain, who ended the season in the black-and-white team, Omar Colley and Daniel Amartey, who are in the national team camps due to the African Nations Cup, and Vincent Aboubakar, who was excluded from the squad and called up to his country’s national team, will not be in the squad. The situation of Valentin Rosier, one of the players excluded from the squad, has not yet been clarified.
Beşiktaş, which upset their side by losing 3-1 with the same scores to F.Bahçe, Alanya and Kasımpaşa in the last 3 matches at home, wants to put an end to the bad situation by beating Karagümrük.
Santos, who will start his new duty in front of Beşiktaş fans at Tüpraş Stadium, will be the 5th coach to work on the bench this season after Şenol Güneş, Burak Yılmaz, Rıza Çalımbay and Serdar Topraktepe.
