The official club website announced that Istanbul's "Galatasaray" has reached an agreement with former "Manchester City" manager Roberto Mancini.

Last week, the country's champions officially announced that they had dismissed Fatih Terim from the position of head coach, who will continue his career in the Turkish national team.

After this decision, reports immediately started circulating in the press that R.Mancini would be a candidate to replace F.Terim. The name of Dick Advocaat was also mentioned.

Nevertheless, "Galatasaray" has agreed with the Italian manager. R.Mancini has signed a three-year contract with the Turkish club.

This season, the Istanbul team is struggling in Turkey and is currently in 10th place.
