Vincenzo Italiano appointed Besiktas head coach on contract to 2028 | OneFootball

Besiktas have appointed Vincenzo Italiano as head coach, and said in a statement on Saturday that his contract runs until the end of the 2027-28 season.

The Istanbul side have finished outside the Süper Lig top three for three seasons, struggling to compete with Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe.

The Italian, 48, arrives from Serie A after spells with Fiorentina and Bologna. He had also been linked with Napoli.

Italiano becomes the 11th coach to take the Besiktas dugout since late 2021, following Valérien Ismaël, Giovanni van Bronckhorst and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Besiktas last won the league in 2021.
