Turkish club Beşiktaş is reportedly eyeing Roberto Mancini as a potential new head coach, amidst speculation from Turkish media that current manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faces imminent dismissal.
Turkish news outlets, cited by CalcioMercato, indicate that Beşiktaş intends to reach out to Mancini shortly to discuss his compensation expectations and assess the viability of bringing in the former Italy national team manager.

Beşiktaş`s recent struggles, including their failure to qualify for the Champions League and a significant 4-2 home defeat in the first leg of their Europa League qualifier against Shakhtar Donetsk, have placed immense pressure on the Norwegian coach. Consequently, the Turkish club is actively seeking a replacement.
Beyond Mancini, another name being considered is Sergen Yalçın, a former Beşiktaş coach who famously led the team to a league and Turkish Cup double in the 2020-21 season before his resignation the subsequent year. Reports suggest that the 52-year-old is seeking a one-year contract with an option for an additional year to rejoin his former club.
