The out-of-work Italian is set to be confirmed as the
replacement for Fatih Terim, with negotiations between the two parties said to
be in their final stages.
Galatasaray are set to appoint former Manchester City and
Inter boss Roberto Mancini as their new coach following Fatih Terim's
departure.
The legendary Turkish boss left the club earlier this
week following a bust-up with president Unal Aysal after delivering two Super
Lig titles in as many seasons.
Mancini, meanwhile, has been out of work after being
sacked by Manchester City back in May following the English side's loss to
Wigan in the FA Cup final.
Galatasaray legend Hakan Sukur has confirmed that the two
parties are close to reaching a deal but have a difference in opinion
concerning the rest of the backroom staff.
"I have a mutual friend with Mancini and I spoke him
and Galatasaray and Mancini are in the final stages," he is quoted as
saying by Sporx.
"There is a difference only about the assistants.
Whether or not Umit [Davala] and Hasan San will remain. Mancini wants to bring
his own assistants. I expect this issue to be resolved."
Galatasaray fans showed up the 1-1 draw with Caykur
Rizespor on Saturday wearing Terim masks in a show of support for the
60-year-old.
