Turkish Super Lig club Besiktas announced Saturday that they separated ways with Dutch head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst after poor results, Anadolu Agency reports.
In addition to a below-par run in the Super Lig, the Black Eagles also lost to Israeli Maccabi Tel Aviv 3-1 in the league phase matchday 5 game of UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
The 49-year-old had signed a two-year contract with the Black Eagles, along with a one-year option to extend, in June.
He previously led Feyenoord to the 2015-16 Eredivisie (Dutch top-tier league) title.
Van Bronckhorst then took the helm at the Rangers in Scotland in 2021, only to leave in November 2022 after winning the 2021-22 Scottish Cup.
Besiktas have been longing for Turkish Super Lig league title since the 2020-21 season.
