Beşiktaş coach Vincenzo Italiano finds success in Europe
Beşiktaş head coach Vincenzo Italiano has led the team to significant success in European competition, securing seven wins in eight UEFA Europa League matches. His only defeat during this period was a 1-0 loss to Zalgiris. Most recently, Beşiktaş secured a 3-2 away victory against Hoffenheim.
Following the win against Hoffenheim, Italiano addressed the selection of Nigerian midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who earned his second start of the season. Italiano stated that Ndidi deserves more playing time and that his inclusion was a matter of managing player workloads rather than a tactical shift. He described Ndidi as a high-level player.
Looking ahead, Beşiktaş is preparing for a Süper Lig derby against Trabzonspor at Papara Park. Italiano’s tactical approach focuses on an offensive philosophy, emphasizing ball possession, high pressing, and rapid transitions, often utilizing a 4-2-3-1 formation.
