Aybaba makes statement on manager search at Beşiktaş: 'I have a very clear target for the Cup'

Beşiktaş Club Football Teams General Coordinator Samet Aybaba made important statements at a press conference. While providing information about Beşiktaş's new manager and transfer efforts, Aybaba shared significant details regarding the club's internal plans.

Here are the statements made by Aybaba:

MANAGER SEARCH

"We have manager candidates. Sergen Hoca is among them. The managers we have made offers to are also thinking about it. They are certainly watching the matches. We have difficulties there."

TRANSFERS

"We currently have 14 foreign players on our roster. We cannot make transfers. The transfer window has not opened yet. We will look at what we can do regarding these players. If we can offload our players by finding their true value, we will sign new players in their place."

COMMENTS ON ABOUBAKAR

"There is no development on this matter. None of our colleagues have come to us and said, 'I am not happy, I cannot do it, my performance is low, I am not contributing, I can hold transfer talks.' It never happened. Aboubakar talks everywhere, except to us."

INTERNAL TRANSFERS

"We will meet with Cenk Tosun and Salih Uçan after the mid-season break. I have met with them one-on-one twice myself. A player's performance is very important."

YUSUF SARI ALLEGATIONS

"Yusuf Sarı... Beşiktaş does not play counter-attack; it is a big club, it plays football, it manages the game and the pitch. Please do not misunderstand regarding that player. I do not want to say something like that. He is a quality and good player."

PLAYERS EXCLUDED FROM THE SQUAD

"One needs to study what 'excluded from the squad' means. What is it? It is a player who does not make the squad. These players are not making the squad. We are working to improve their performance."

TURKISH CUP TARGET

"I have a very clear target for the Turkish Cup. I have planned a special bonus system. That is our biggest goal. The second goal is a ranking that will qualify us for UEFA. We need to achieve this with the incoming players."

MANAGER CANDIDATES

"Sergen Yalçın is a natural candidate. We have not spoken so far. We will, but... There are coach candidates, there are other candidates as well. We need to put certain things together correctly. We are still at the beginning."

TRANSFER BUDGET

"We have money. Even if it looks like 6 million in our budget, we have clubs in our country that manage football differently. We will learn from them how it happens, how it is done. Everything is done in this country, friends."

TEAM ISSUES

"We have team-wide issues. Let's not call it a specific area, but there is an issue with the whole. We are looking. We are working. We are working for Beşiktaş. If I showed you the current player squad we have, you would run away immediately. There is a match on Tuesday, a match on Friday, a match on Tuesday, a match on Friday. We are 13 people."

YOUNG PLAYERS

"I love the youth academy and my children very much. That is why the exclusion decisions were made. They are already inside. They are not anywhere else. These are our players. If their contributions increase here, they are already our contracted players."
