Beşiktaş's performance this season is on the rise compared to last year
The black-and-white team is achieving much more successful results in both the Süper Lig and the European arena compared to the previous season.
When comparing Beşiktaş's results this season with its performance last season, it is seen that the team has achieved a major breakthrough in both Europe and the Süper Lig, significantly improving its statistics.
Successful return in European competitions
Last season, Beşiktaş said goodbye to tournaments in August, securing only 2 victories in 6 matches played in the Europa League and Conference League qualifiers.
Success in qualifying for the Europa League
Making a much stronger start to this season, the black-and-white team managed to secure its name in the tournament after a one-season hiatus by winning 5 of the 6 Europa League preliminary matches it played.
Ambitious position in the Süper Lig
Taking 3 wins and suffering 2 defeats in the first 5 matches of the Süper Lig last season, the team became the closest follower of the top spot by leaving 4 of the first 5 encounters victorious this season.
General official match statistics
While Beşiktaş experienced 5 wins, 1 draw, and 5 defeats in its first 11 official matches of the 2025-26 season, it achieved 9 wins and 2 defeats without any draws in the same period of the 2026-27 season.
The impact of head coach Vincenzo Italiano
The 48-year-old Italian manager Vincenzo Italiano, who took charge of the team, managed to win the love and respect of the fans in a short time with the successful results he achieved.
Career-record-breaking start
Having previously managed Fiorentina and Bologna in Italy's Serie A, the experienced manager had never achieved 4 or more victories in the first 5 matches of any season start in his career.
