Besiktas Finally gets Quaresma

Besiktas Finally gets Quaresma


Besiktas has completed the signing of winger Ricardo Quaresma from Inter Milan.
The Turkish side has paid a reported 7.3 million euros ($10.3 million) for the 26-year-old, who becomes Bernd Schuster's first signing since taking charge last week.

Quaresma spent six months on loan at Chelsea before returning to Inter last northern summer but made just 13 appearances in all competitions in a season that was also beset by injury.

The Portugal international has over 30 caps for his country but failed to make the FIFA World Cup squad.

Quaresma arrived at Inter in 2008 after the Serie A outfit paid Porto 18.6million euros ($26.3 million) plus Pele, who was valued at around six million ($8.5 million).

However, the two-time Portuguese player of the year, who still had three years left to run on his contract, had little impact at the San Siro.

At the press conference Besiktas President Yildirim Demiroren took the podium first and said , what ever writing about Mustaf Denizli and Besiktas team as far as getting Schuster is not truth. He went on to say that Mustaf Denizli is leaving us because of his health issues,all others are not truth"


After, the Turkish legend as a player, now as a coach, the man who coached Istanbul's big three and won two cups with Besiktas in the last season , Mustafa Denizli, took the stage.

He thanked to Besiktas team officials and the Besiktas fans....

He said he is leaving his childhood love team , due to his current health issues ..

He said, he wanted rest and be productive to Turkish football and Besiktas after he gets better...



He also said what ever said until now in the Turkish media was not truth ...

So, now Mustafa Denizli gone who will be the next coach ofi Besiktas...

Will it be Turkish coach or foreign coach?

If you ask me, it should be Turkish coach...

There are only three Turkish team, who has foreign coaches, in the Turkish Turkcell Super League...

GALATASARAY.... GENCLERBIRLIGI AND FENERBAHCE

Recently ....Gaziantepspor hired Tolunay Kafkas....the new team of the Turkish Super League Bucaspor hired Bulent Uygun and Ankaragucu went with Turkish coach too...

So, who will that Turkish coach, be?

Well, we cant forget, Rasim Kara.... Samet Aybaba... and Giray Bulak...

These three coaches, will be helpful to Besiktas, in my opinion.

And they have the experience that Besiktas needs....

COACHING CRISES IN BESIKTAS!

If any one remembers, Besiktas officials, in the middle of the, this past season, made Mustafa Denizli, sign one more year deal, before the season ended and before the his contract ended!

How absurd that was!

Well, His actual contract did end on May 31th and the new contract, was never send to TFF(Turkish Football Federation),

Besiktas coach Mustafa Denizli was vacationing in Beituful Cesme,Izmir and all of sudden his blood pressure rose and they rushed him to Istanbul to checking to the Hospital.


According reports, Mustafa Denizli told Besiktas officials that he does not want to coach anymore the team, due to medical reasons.

He has a major health issues......


Former Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster name is in the Turkish news papers now as the next coach of Besiktas!

I don't think so......
