ANKARA, Turkey — Former Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has signed a three-year deal with Galatasaray to replace Fatih Terim who was sacked as coach last week, the Turkish club said Monday. Galatasaray added that the Italian would be paid 3.5 million euros ($4.74 million) for the rest of the season and 4.5 million for each of the following two seasons, excluding bonuses. Mancini, 48, was dismissed as City manager in May after a 3-1/2 reign at the Etihad Stadium which included a Premier League title in 2012 and an FA Cup success a year earlier. Terim, who is also the Turkey manager, was voted out of the Galatasaray job at a meeting of the club's board of directors after rejecting a contract extension. Galatasaray, which in January spent heavily on Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder, has made a disappointing start to the season, and is 10th in the Turkish League. It has taken seven points from five league games and was thrashed 6-1 at home by Real Madrid in the Champions League. McClaren to manage Derby Former England manager Steve McClaren has replaced Nigel Clough as coach of Derby County, the English Championship (second tier) club announced Monday as it attempts to spark life into a stuttering campaign. The experienced McClaren, who had been working as first-team coach under Harry Redknapp at Queens Park Rangers, signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Derby which is 14th in the table with 11 points from nine games. Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest was enough to earn Clough, 47, the sack following a series of poor home performances. “Our goal is to have Derby County competing for a playoff place and beyond, and we feel with Steve and his team at the helm we have a great opportunity to do so,” Derby chief executive Sam Rush said on the club website. — Agencies
