Besiktas coach Vincenzo Italiano receives a special club tribute after leading the team to a 4-1 win over Marseille. In connection with the result, Besiktas plays “L’Italiano,” an iconic song by Toto Cutugno, as a celebratory gesture tied to Italiano’s name.
Both outlets describe the reaction at Besiktas, with the tribute contributing to Italiano’s popularity among supporters. The reports frame the moment as part of the club’s broader effort to welcome and recognize their new coach in a memorable way.
While the coverage focuses on the same match and the same on-field music tribute, the emphasis differs slightly. One outlet highlights that the gesture quickly makes Italiano an “idol” with fans, while the other presents the tribute as a sign of how the coach’s presence is resonating at the club. Neither account cites additional controversy or further developments beyond the match and the celebration.
