Van Bronckhorst had a great start at Besiktas last summer by conquering the Super Cup with force majeure. Then the volatility soon set in. Van Bronckhorst previously served as trainer of Feyenoord, Guangzhou City FC and Rangers FC. His most notable achievements as a coach are winning the national title with Feyenoord in 2017 and reaching the (lost) Europa League final with Rangers FC in 2022.
