Giovanni van Bronckhorst is on the hunt for his first win against Galatasaray in the league!

Under the management of foreign coaches, Beşiktaş achieved its last victory against Galatasaray in the Süper Lig during the 2010-2011 season with a score of 2-1, led by German coach Bernd Schuster. Now, under Giovanni van Bronckhorst, they aim to experience their first victory against Galatasaray in 14 years.

In the 10th week of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Beşiktaş will host Galatasaray on Monday, October 28, at 20:00 at RAMS Park. The black-and-whites, who have achieved 6 victories and 2 draws in 8 league matches under coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst without suffering a loss, want to continue this trend against the yellow-reds.

Beşiktaş has not been able to defeat Galatasaray in the league during the periods when foreign coaches were in charge. Their last victory against the Lions in the Süper Lig was on November 28, 2010, with a score of 2-1 under Bernd Schuster.

After that date, Beşiktaş, with Portuguese coach Carlos Carvalhal, left the field with 1 draw and 1 loss in 2 matches against Galatasaray, while under Croatian Slaven Bilic, they lost all 4 encounters, one of which was by default. Most recently, in the 28th week of the 2023-2024 season, they lost 1-0 at home under Fernando Santos.
