New Belgian coach at Galatasaray

Belgian coach Erik Gerets has signed a two-year contract at Galatasaray on Tuesday. Gerets quit his German post just days after resigning at VFL Wolfsburg over a long-standing row with sports director Thomas Strunz.The 51-year-old coach will take over from Gheorghe Hagi, who resigned from the Turkish premier club after they failed to qualify for the Champions League. Hagi said that he had felt alone at the club for some time now and that he had made the decision to resign 10 days ago. "I decided to resign 10 days ago but only made my decision public after the last match of the season," said Hagi. Adding that, "I have felt alone in my job the whole season and I failed to accomplish my plans, but I'm satisfied with my work. I built a new, positive team and revived the careers of some players considered too old by the media and officials." Gerets quit just days after resigning at Germany's VFL Wolfsburg over a long-standing row with sports director Thomas Strunz. Commenting on what he would do next Hagi said that returning to his native country of Romania wasn't out of the question: "Steaua Bucharest made me an interesting offer and I'll decide my future after some days rest."
