Prandelli parts company with GalatasarayPublished: Thursday 27 November 2014, 20.05CET
After elimination from Europe on Wednesday, Galatasaray AŞ have confirmed coach Cesare Prandelli has left the club following four straight UEFA Champions League losses.
Galatasaray AŞ have parted company with coach Cesare Prandelli in the wake of Wednesday's 2-0 defeat by RSC Anderlecht in the UEFA Champions League which confirmed their elimination from Europe this season. Club vice-president Abdurrahim Albayrak announced that the board have decided to dismissed the 57-year-old Italian coach on Thursday evening.
Prandelli replaced his compatriot Roberto Mancini in the summer having resigned as Italy coach following an early FIFA World Cup exit but has overseen a return of just one point –
from the matchday one draw at home to Anderlecht – in UEFA Champions League Group D.
Wednesday's loss in Brussels, Galatasaray's fourth in succession in the competition, confirmed Prandelli's side would finish bottom of their section.
Their performances in the Turkish Super League have generally been more palatable.
The Istanbul giants have collected 19 points from ten games and are one point behind both Beşiktaş JK and Fenerbahçe SK, despite Saturday's 3-0 home defeat by Trabzonspor AŞ.
