The man who led his country to the last four in Japan and South Korea in 2002 has agreed a three-year deal with the Super Lig club
Senol Gunes has been appointed as the new coach of Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas.Gunes takes over on a three-year deal after Slaven Bilic - who joined Premier League club West Ham on Tuesday - announced his exit last month.
A brief statement on Besiktas' website read:
"Besiktas JK has appointed the former Turkish national team manager Senol Gunes as the new boss of the Black Eagles.
"Before signing a deal with Besiktas, Mr. Gunes visited the club's training facilities at the Nevzat Demir Spor Complex."
Gunes started his coaching career with Trabzonspor - with whom he has had four stints - in 1988.
He famously led Turkey to the World Cup semi-finals in 2002 and spent last season at Bursaspor, guiding them to sixth place in the Super Lig and the final of the Turkish Cup, where they lost to Galatasaray.
