Beşiktaş, which has failed to meet expectations this season, faced Antalyaspor at home in the 30th week of the Süper Lig.
Unable to put an end to their poor run, the Black and Whites left the match with a 2-1 defeat.
Evaluating the Beşiktaş - Antalyaspor match, former referee and sports commentator Erman Toroğlu put forward a striking claim that had not previously appeared in the media.
"BEŞİKTAŞ IS PLAYING ITS 13TH MATCH WITH THIS MANAGER"
Erman Toroğlu said, "Beşiktaş is playing its 13th match with this manager and this is the football they are playing. On the other side, at Antalyaspor, Nuri Şahin leaves and Sergen Yalçın arrives. Nuri Şahin's game was more controlled; the difference Sergen Yalçın has created in 13 matches is clear. What has Fernando Santos done in 13 matches? Nothing. The team must do something now. Sergen Yalçın shows his difference, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to notice Santos."
"I KNOW THEY ALSO HELD TALKS WITH LUCESCU"
Erman Toroğlu stated, "I don't think Santos was Beşiktaş's first choice; their first choice was a Frenchman. I also know that they held talks with Lucescu, who said, 'I can make this team win the cup, and it wouldn't require much money.' However, he asked for a lot of money after Samet Aybaba left. When that happened, they called Samet and reached an agreement with this manager."
