Milne to Istanbul to fill the position of Director of
Football.

Riza Calimbay handed his resignation letter to the
board, under the pressure of Besiktas' poor start to
the season. This included the teams's latest 0-0 draw
at home to Kayserispor, which left the club in seventh
place, and a full 13 points off the top. The board may
decide to hire Gordon Milne as the new manager after
this development.
It is still unclear what this will mean for Besiktas'
Ahmed Hassan, who has been considering his options for
next season.
