Şahin Takes the Helm
Şahin emerged as the frontrunner for the position after Fernando Santos’ dismissal earlier this year. Beşiktaş President Hasan Arat confirmed talks with Şahin during a trip to Germany in May.

Backroom Staff Changes
In addition to Şahin’s appointment, Beşiktaş has also decided on Serdar Topraktepe’s role within the team. Topraktepe, who served as a technical advisor this season, will be assigned to the team under Şahin.

Current Sporting Director Samet Aybaba is expected to remain with the club, although reports suggest Beşiktaş might recruit an additional sporting director.
Looking Ahead
With Şahin at the helm and potential changes to the backroom staff, Beşiktaş fans can expect a revamped approach for the upcoming season. The club will be hoping that Şahin’s vision and leadership will usher in a new era of success.
