Galatasaray manager Roberto Mancini has confirmed that he will remain in charge of the club next season.

The 49-year-old joined Gala last summer before guiding them to glory in the Turkish Cup and a second-placed finish in the Super Lig.

Despite rumours linking him with a return to former club Lazio, the Italian insists that he will remain in Turkey for the new campaign.

"I miss Italy; not just the family but the football," he told Gazzetta dello Sport. "But I want to make it clear that I will remain at Galatasaray.

"I am under contract for a further two years and I've done well so far. Besides, we will play in the Champions League next season."

Mancini arrived at Galatasaray having enjoyed a four-year spell with Manchester City.
