the worst news... Rijkaard new position
The Dutchman takes over in Istanbul from Bulent Korkmaz.
Former Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard has been named as the new manager of Galatasaray.
Rijkaard has penned a two-year deal at the Ali Sem Yen Stadium in a bid to restore Galatasaray to a more appropriate league position.
2008-09 was a massively disappointing campaign for the Cimbom, who only managed to finish fifth in a season that saw both Michael Skibbe and later Bulent Korkmaz employed as coach.
Rijkaard, who has not coached since resigning as Barcelona manager in 2008, brings with him both club and international experience, having bossed the Netherlands to a final-four finish at Euro 2000.
The 46-year-old is due to arrive at Ataturk International Airport at 16:30 CET today, and is expected to pen his deal at 19:00 CET.

That is bad news. Coaches go there to die.
Aragones left a Euro winning team to join Fernerbache. Seriously, come on. They have OK football but nowhere near the kind quality of the big 3. Kind of like a suckier French ligue 1.
