In its June/July issue, Beşiktaş Magazine interviewed Manager Tayfur Havutçu. 

“ Before the Cup Final, I made some tactical changes, but the main thing was to play as a unit. I am glad everything worked out fine in the end.
“In a way, football is like an arm wrestling match. If you are not the stronger one, no matter what tactic you use, you are bound to lose.”
“As long as we keep on winning, I don’t pay much attention to who’s on the starting lineup. The Cup victory had definitely boosted our self-confidence and overall morale, which showed in the following matches”
“We could end up losing the Cup at the end of the penalty shootout, but, I had no worries because I believed in my players.”      
“Our foreign stars have always acted with humility and respect towards their teammates so we have no division on the team.” 
“My goal is to create a team that can play world-class football envied by all.”
