Italiano Appointed Besiktas Coach

 

Vincenzo Italiano has been appointed coach of Turkish side Besiktas, the Istanbul-based club announced on Saturday.

The 48-year-old Italian will coach the club until the end of the 2027-2028 season, Besiktas said in a statement.

The former coach of Serie A clubs Fiorentina and Bologna becomes the 11th manager at Besiktas in the past five years, following Frenchman Valerien Ismael, Dutchman Giovanni van Bronckhorst, and Norwegian Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
