Beşiktaş appear to have found their next head coach, with reports from Alfredo Pedullà claiming that the club and Vincenzo Italiano are close to reaching a full agreement.
According to the latest reports, Italiano is set to sign a two-year contract worth €6 million net per season, while his coaching staff will receive an additional €2.5 million per year. The two sides are reportedly working through the final details, meaning "white smoke" could be just around the corner.
But who is Vincenzo Italiano, and why are Beşiktaş fans so excited?
Italiano has built a reputation as one of the most progressive and highly-rated Italian managers of his generation. Known for his aggressive pressing, attacking football, high defensive line, quick ball circulation, and modern tactical approach, he has earned widespread praise throughout Italy for transforming teams into entertaining, competitive sides.
His rise through the coaching ranks has been remarkable. After successful spells with Trapani and Spezia, he famously guided Spezia to their first-ever promotion to Serie A in 2020. He then took charge of Fiorentina, where he revitalized the club and led them to multiple European campaigns, two UEFA Europa Conference League finals, and a Coppa Italia final.
Most recently, Italiano further enhanced his reputation by guiding Bologna to silverware, ending a major trophy drought and demonstrating his ability to compete against some of Italy's biggest clubs. His success has made him one of the most sought-after coaches in Italian football.
Could Vincenzo Italiano be the man to restore Beşiktaş to the top of Turkish football? How will his attacking philosophy fit the current squad? What signings might follow if the deal is completed?
