    275. The Black Eagles podcast (April 19th, 2024) - SANTOS IS GONE! Topraktepe takes over as Beşiktaş renew their managerial search.

    Fernando Santos found himself dismissed following the second consecutive 1-1 draw, this time against Samsunspor on Monday, following an earlier last minute draw against Basaksehir the previous week.
    With 3 losses and 2 draws from their last 5 games, the Beşiktaş saw no other option than to shoot in to action and dismiss Fernando Santos prematurely as the Black Eagles still have all to play for in the Turkish cup and the league for next season's European qualification.
    Sinan, Kaan and Kartal give their opinions on who should succeed Fernando Santos next season. Whether there is a scenario in which Serdar Topraktepe takes the reigns for next season aswell and we also discuss Semih Kiliçsoy's continued rise. That and much in this nearly 3 hour long episode.
    Beşiktaş have two important matches against Ankaragücü coming up in the next couple of days, first at home in the league on Friday followed by the first leg away in the Turkish cup semi-finals on Tuesday. Two crucial games for European qualifciation, either through the league or the cup.
    Did Beşiktaş make the right decision to dismiss Santos? And who should be his successor for next season? Let us know on X!

    BONUS EPISODE - Deadline day MADNESS! Ernest Muçi, Ali Al-Musrati and Basar Önal!?

    BONUS EPISODE - Deadline day MADNESS! Ernest Muçi, Ali Al-Musrati and Basar Önal!?

    We weren't holding our breath and for a while it looked like the January transfer window would fizzle out and result in disappointment but the Black Eagles have made two big statement transfers on deadline day!
    First up Besiktas have signed ERNEST MUCI from Legia Warsaw on a permanent transfer, president Hasan Arat used his connections with the Polish prime minister Duda to get this deal done and personally went over to conclude the negotiations with Legia. Muçi is a 22 year old Albanian international, regarded as a prime talent, he plays primarily as an offensive midfielder but can also play on either wing and as a striker.
    Second up Besiktas have loaned SC Braga's Libyan defensive midfielder Ali Al-Musrati. Musrati again is a highly regarded player in the Portuguese league, known for his passing ability alongside his defensive capabilities. He's 27 years old, Besiktas have loaned him with an option to buy.
    And of course Besiktas had already signed the Englishman Joe Worrall earlier int he week from Nottingham Forest, the 27 year old English central defender captained Forest for many years and is known as a very combative defender.
    Finally Besiktas are also closing in on a deal for FC De Graafschap's 19 year old left winger Basar Önal, again a highly regarded talent from the Dutch second division, Basar holds a Turkish passport alongside his Dutch passport.
