David Moyes offered £4m a year deal as Galatasaray's manager

David Moyes has been offered a £4million a year deal to replace Roberto Mancini as Galatasaray's manager.

Moyes could be set for a swift return to management following his unsuccessful stint in charge of Manchester United which culminated in his dismissal in April – nine months after taking charge of the then champions.


The Scot is taking a tour of the Turkish capital and will fly back on Saturday. Preliminary talks between the two parties have left the Turkish side confident they have landed their man.

Turkish agent Muzzi Ozcan - who dealt with Mancini's move to Gala - is due to fly out from London to Istanbul on Friday night to help finalise the deal.

Galatasaray have confirmed a meeting with president Unal Aysal has taken place, but described the talks as merely an exchange of ideas and said that Joachim Low and Jurgen Klinsmann are their top targets.

'The president has given a speech about it,' a Galatasaray spokesperson said.

'He said that we just spoke with David Moyes and he said that he can come to Galatasaray but he is not one of the main targets for us.

'They just spoke to each other, exchanging ideas - that it is it. It is true the president talked with David Moyes.

'We are not in a rush, we are waiting for the end of the World Cup. The first two targets are Low or Klinsmann.'

Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini was sacked by the Turkish club earlier this month and now they are looking to the Glaswegian to fill the role.
