Former Rangers manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst has reportedly been sacked.
It's claimed the ex-Ibrox boss has been relieved of his duties by Besiktas chiefs.
Dutch manager Van Bronckhorst, 29, joined the Turkish club in June on a two-year deal with the option of a third season in the Super Lig.
However, according to Fanatik, Van Bronckhorst has now been sacked by Besiktas. The outlet claims Van Bronckhorst will leave the club after a board meeting on Friday.
It's thought discussions over finalising his termination are ongoing. The decision comes just one day after the Europa League loss to Maccabi Tel-Aviv.
Besiktas sit sixth in the Super Lig table and 22nd in the Europa League league phase standings.
While Van Bronckhorst is expected to leave Besiktas, the only statement released by the club on Friday came to confirm a shock boardroom exit.
Club chairman Hasan Arat has left the club with the vice-chairman assuming his duties until further notice.

We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
