Following the separation from Sergen Yalçın, Beşiktaş has intensified its search for a new technical director for the upcoming season. The club's management has shifted its focus towards foreign candidates.

Black-Whites aim to quickly shape the structure of the new era without wasting time, conducting thorough evaluations across a wide list of candidates.

According to Fanatik, President Serdal Adalı and his advisors have been analyzing the tactical understanding, career history, and financial terms of potential coaches in detail. Beşiktaş had previously considered names like Dino Toppmöller, Ange Postecoglou, Razvan Lucescu, and Oliver Glasner. They had also made contact with the German coach Dino Toppmöller. It was also noted that the management keeps alternative plans ready.

Efforts for Filipe Luis Begin

Beşiktaş has also initiated efforts for the Brazilian technical director Filipe Luis, whose name had been mentioned in connection with Fenerbahçe. It is claimed that the young coach is positively inclined to work in Turkey, and the talks are expected to gain momentum in the coming period. The club is awaiting formal steps for the 40-year-old footballer, who recently left Flamengo.

On the other hand, it is also reported that efforts for Ange Postecoglou are continuing. The Australian coach, who last worked with Nottingham Forest until October 2025, has not managed a club since then.
