Beşiktaş disappointed again

Beşiktaş completed the 2025-2026 season in the Trendyol Super League with the match against Çaykur Rizespor. The black-and-whites finished the season in fourth place with 60 points after 17 wins, 9 draws and 8 defeats in 34 weeks. The black-and-white team shook the opponent's nets 59 times, but could not prevent 40 goals in their nets.

Started the season with Solskjaer

The Black and Whites started the season under Norwegian coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, the Eagles parted ways with Solskjaer when they bid farewell to the European Cup in the play-off round. Sergen Yalçın took over in Solskjaer's place.

Önder Karaveli, Valerien Ismael, Burak Yılmaz, Rıza Çalımbay, Serdar Topraktepe, Fernando Santos, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took over the team after Sergen Yalçın, who quit after the championship in the 2020-2021 season.

Following this decision, the 35-year-old announced that he would quit football at the end of the season.

His European adventure was short-lived

Beşiktaş started their European adventure this season in the Europa League 2nd Qualifying Round. In this round, the Black Eagles, who were paired with Shakhtar Donetsk, coached by Arda Turan, lost 4-2 at home and 2-0 away and continued on their way from the 3rd Qualifying Round of the Conference League. The Black Eagles, who qualified for the play-off round by beating Irish representative St. Patrick's 4-1 and 3-2, lost 1-0 at home to Swiss team Lausanne, with whom they drew 1-1 away, and closed their European book in August.

41 years after failing to win a big match

Sergen Yalçın's team finished the season without winning a major match after 41 years. The Black and Whites could only manage two points from the matches against Galatasaray, Fenerbahçe and Trabzonspor this season. Beşiktaş lost 3-2 and 1-0 against Fenerbahçe, drew away against Galatasaray and lost 1-0 at home. Trabzonspor, with whom they drew 3-3 in Trabzon in the first half of the league, lost 2-1 at home.

Turkish Cup goal unrealized

Beşiktaş, who threw in the towel early in the Super League and left their championship hopes for next season, had set the Turkish Cup as their target. The Black and Whites, who had planned to win the cup and qualify for the Europa League next season by playing a single qualifying round, failed to realize this goal.

The Black Eagles, who lost to Konyaspor with a last-minute penalty in the semi-final match played at Tüpraş Stadium, also experienced a rupture with this defeat.

Fans called for resignation

The Konyaspor match, which ended in the Turkish Cup, also severed the ties between the fans, the management and coach Sergen Yalçın. After the match, black-white fans called for the resignation of both the management headed by Serdal Adalı and Yalçın.

These chants reached their peak with the Trabzonspor defeat in Dolmabahçe in the league. The chants of resignation continued for a long time at the Tüpraş Stadium after the defeat against the Bordeaux-Bavilles on top of the disappointment in the cup.

59 goals from 17 different players

The 59 goals scored by the Black Eagles in the league throughout the season came from 17 different players. Black Eagles' top scorer in the league was captain Orkun Kökçü with 8 goals. Orkun was followed by Tammy Abraham, who left the team at half-time, with 7 goals. South Korean center back Hyeon-gyu Oh also found the net 6 times. Cengiz Ünder, El Bilal Toure, Vaclav Cerny and Jota Silva, along with Rafa Silva, who also said goodbye to the team in the winter transfer window, scored 5 times each.

Tiago Djalo, Wilfred Ndidi, Kristjan Asllani and Junior Olaitan found the net 2 times each, while Milot Rashica, Emirhan Topçu, Mustafa Hekimoğlu, Emmanuel Agbadaou and Amir Murillo contributed 1 goal each.

Orkun Kökçü played the most minutes

Orkun Kökçü was again the player who played the most minutes for the Black and Whites in the league. Appearing in 30 matches, Orkun spent 2 thousand 485 minutes on the pitch. Ersin Destanoğlu followed the national footballer with 2 thousand 250 minutes. Rıdvan Yılmaz and Vaclav Cerny were also among the players who played the most minutes with 2,08 minutes.

Orkun Kökçü and Vaclav Cerny shared the top spot with 30 matches each in the Super League. Cengiz Ünder followed these two players with 26 matches. Ersin Destanoğlu, Milot Rashica, Rıdvan Yılmaz and Wilfred Ndidi also found a place in the ranking with 25 matches each.
