Bilic invited back to Besiktas

|

StadiumBesiktas president Fikret Orman has revealed that the club have invited Slaven Bilic to the Vodafone Arena inauguration ceremony.

Speaking at the pre-inauguration press conference president said: “We will be inviting Bilic, Daum, Toshack, Milne, Lucescu and former players to the ceremony as well.”

Bilic coached Besiktas over two seasons before joining West Ham last summer. The Croatian coach is largely credited with being the architect of the current side despite winning no silverware at the club.

The Istanbul club are on the verge of completing the construction of the 41,903 seater Vodafone Arena stadium which is situated just a stones throw from the Bosphorus next to the Dolmabahce stadium. The stadium will replace the old İnönü and is being constructed on the same land as the previous venue.

Bilic never actually got to play a single home game during his stint at Besiktas as the stadium reconstruction project lasted over two years.

    Rumour has it that Slav has turned down the offer of going back to Beskitas in favour of attending the WHTID end of season ” Be careful what you wish for bash” so he can meet up with the wannabe football managers, politicians and lawyers for a fun packed night of statistics, formations and a game of guess who.
