The decision comes hours after the club scored its fifth unbeaten game in a row in the Turkish football league, beating home Samsunspor.
The 16-time Turkish soccer champion Besiktas Istanbul separated from coach Fernando Santos on Saturday. Besiktas has been winless for five games and is 36 points behind leader Galatasaray and 34 on Fenerbahce in fourth place. 69-year-old Portuguese Santos, who led his home country to the European championship title in 2016, had only taken over the team in January.
The Portuguese technician Fernando Santos, who has been in charge of Besiktas since the beginning of the year, has been dismissed due to the Turkish club's persistent poor results.
The former English nationalist won only seven of the 16 contested matches atsiktas.
The Portuguese coach is once again without a club. It lasted only three months in the Turks.
