Another trophyless and inconsistent season for Beşiktaş!

After winning the championship in the 2020-2021 season, the Black-Whites could not achieve stability in the management, technical committee and squad.

This instability was reflected in the results on the field in the Super League during this period. Beşiktaş remained far from the top after the last championship in the league and failed to enter the top 2 in the last 5 seasons.

The black-white team, which is certain to finish the season in 4th place with one week left in the league, has taken the TFF Super Cup twice and the Turkish Cup once in the said period.

The club has seen 4 presidents in the last 5 years

The unstable structure in Beşiktaş also manifested itself in the management.

Ahmet Nur Çebi, who was the chairman in the last championship, left his post, which he started in October 2019, with the extraordinary general assembly held on December 3, 2023.

The term of Hasan Arat, who was elected president by winning the extraordinary general assembly held on the same day, did not last long. Following consecutive negative field results, Arat left the presidency, which he held for 363 days in total, and was replaced by the second president Hüseyin Yücel.

While Hüseyin Yücel served for about 1 month, Serdal Adalı took over this time with the extraordinary general assembly held once again.

The fact that 4 presidents served in this short period prevented stability in the technical committee and player staff.

9 technical staff in the last 5 seasons

Beşiktaş has had 9 coaches in the last 5 seasons.

Technical director Sergen Yalçın, the architect of the championship in 2020-2021, resigned from his post in December 2021 after poor results the following season.

Önder Karaveli, Valerien Ismael, Burak Yılmaz, Rıza Çalımbay, Serdar Topraktepe, Fernando Santos, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took charge of Beşiktaş, which has not been able to achieve stability in terms of technical director since the 2021-2022 season.

The Black and Whites parted ways with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at the beginning of this season when they lost in the play-off round of the European Cups. Sergen Yalçın replaced the Norwegian coach.

After a trophy-less season for the Black and Whites, the future of coach Serge Yalçın is also a matter of debate.

Ersin Destanoğlu is the most consistent

In the last 5 seasons at Beşiktaş, goalkeeper Ersin Destanoğlu stands out with his consistency.

The 25-year-old glove, who first wore the black-and-white jersey in the 2019-2020 season, is the oldest active player in the current team.

Ersin, who is preparing to leave behind his 7th consecutive season at Beşiktaş, has protected the black-whites' goal in 150 matches in all competitions.

Ersin Destanoğlu, whom Sergen Yalçın did not give up in his first term, took part in 31 matches this season.

Necip Uysal out of the squad

Beşiktaş, which has not been able to achieve squad stability in recent years, took an important decision regarding Necip Uysal this season.

Necip Uysal, who is in his 22nd year in the black-and-white jersey, is the oldest player in the team and was sidelined with the decision.

The 35-year-old former captain, who was one of the "flag" names of the team in Beşiktaş, where the player roster is constantly changing, announced that he will quit football at the end of the season after this decision.

Rıdvan Yılmaz, who returned to Beşiktaş in August 2025 after three seasons at Rangers, is one of the oldest names at the black-white club, as are Salih Uçan and Kartal Kayra Yılmaz.

Rashica is the most consistent of the foreign players

Milot Rashica is the foreign footballer who has worn the Beşiktaş jersey for the longest time in recent times.

The Kosovan footballer, who is preparing to leave behind his 3rd season in the black-white team, has worn the Beşiktaş jersey in 115 matches in all competitions.

Milot Rashica was followed by German stopper Felix Uduokhai, who has been with the team for 2 seasons. Uduokhai played 58 matches in two seasons.

Other foreign players had their first season in the black-white team.

The dimension of instability in the squad is big

The instability in management and technical staff was reflected in player transfers.

The black-and-white team had an active transfer period when the 2020-2021 season, the last championship season, was included.

Firstly, Beşiktaş signed 13 players in 2020-2021 and sent 27 players to different teams.

The player mobility in the black-and-whites continued in other seasons as well.

In 2021-2022, 12 players joined the team, while 18 players were sent on loan or on loan. In the following season, the black-and-whites strengthened their squad with 18 players, while 32 players left the team. In the 2023-2024 season, Beşiktaş signed 15 players and said goodbye to 26 players.

The transfer period in which the black-whites made the fewest reinforcements was in the first days of Serdal Adalı's tenure. While Hasan Arat made 8 transfers at the beginning of the season, Adalı made 2 reinforcements at halftime. Beşiktaş signed 10 players last season and said goodbye to 32 players.

This season they parted ways with 34 players

While 19 players joined Beşiktaş this season, the club parted ways with 34 players.

Of the 35 players who participated in the pre-season camp in Austria, 25 were sent off.

Ersin Destanoğlu, Emir Yaşar, Emre Bilgin, Felix Uduokhai, Emirhan Topçu, Salih Uçan, Milot Rashica, Kartal Kayra Yılmaz and Mustafa Erhan Hekimoğlu stood out as the players in the squad.
