Beşiktaş football club denied reports saying that it had reached a deal with former Turkish national team coach Mustafa Denizli, moments after the club-owned BJK TV broke the news of an agreement.  

BJK TV withdrew its breaking news while the club announced that an agreement was "not yet final," broadcaster NTV reported.

Denizli, a former Beşiktaş coach, has been working with Iran’s Persepolis team.

Beşiktaş has been without a coach since the club parted ways with Tayfur Havutçu last month.
