Galatasaray has officially confirmed the hiring of Roberto Mancini, the Italian manager who previously served at Manchester City but was let go at the conclusion of the last season. Contrary to recent speculations, Didier Drogba will not be assuming the role of player-coach for the Turkish club.
Galatasaray has encountered a challenging start to the season, notably suffering a significant setback with a 1-6 defeat against Real Madrid in the Champions League. However, the club’s struggles extend beyond the pitch, with reported differences between the former coach and the club president exacerbating the situation. Mancini’s arrival marks a new chapter for Galatasaray as they seek to navigate through both on-field and off-field challenges under his leadership.
