275. The Black Eagles podcast (April 19th, 2024) - SANTOS IS GONE! Topraktepe takes over as Beşiktaş renew their managerial search.

Fernando Santos found himself dismissed following the second consecutive 1-1 draw, this time against Samsunspor on Monday, following an earlier last minute draw against Basaksehir the previous week.

With 3 losses and 2 draws from their last 5 games, the Beşiktaş saw no other option than to shoot in to action and dismiss Fernando Santos prematurely as the Black Eagles still have all to play for in the Turkish cup and the league for next season's European qualification.
