Beşiktaş deny rumours that Bilic is Premier League bound [divider]
Beşiktaş board member Ahmet Ürkmezgil has denied rumours that head coach Slaven Bilic is Premier League bound.
Ürkmezgil underlined that the reports linking Bilic with a move to England are nothing but attempts by rival clubs to disrupt Beşiktaş.
“Bilic has done a great job over the past two seasons, rumours linking Bilic with a move to England are the work of our rivals trying to ruin team spirit,” Ürkmezgil told Radyospor.
