Galatasaray in talks with Roberto Mancini

Galatasaray say they are negotiating with former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini to replace Fatih Terim as coach.

Galatasaray made the announcement in a brief statement to Turkey's stock exchange on Monday.

Terim's contract was terminated by the club last week after he rejected a two-year extension. One of Turkey's best known coaches, Terim last month started his third stint as manager of Turkey's national team.

Mancini was sacked by Manchester City at the end of last season after failing to help Blues retain their Premier League title. Manuel Pelligrini replaced him at the club.
