Fikret Orman has resigned from his post as Besiktas manager after a seven-year stint in charge of the club.

Axar.az reports citing Orman was first elected president in 2012 taking over a side struggling with £250m of debt, 142 lawsuits and a suspension from Uefa competitions for breaching FFP agreements.

The 47-year-old oversaw the building of the 41,903 capacity Vodafone Park stadium which replaced the Inonu stadium.

Orman also brought in sweeping changes, addressed the debt issue and introduced long-term plans to build Besiktas’ commercial value both at home and overseas.

Under the leadership of Orman Besiktas built a side that won back-to-back league titles over the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons.
