Fenerbahçe Confirm Aragonés Agreement
-
Turkish club Fenerbahçe have officially confirmed that departing Spain national team boss Luis Aragonés has penned a two-year contract at the Åžükrü SaracoÄŸlu.
The Yellow Canaries have reported via their official website that the 'Wise Man of Hortaleza' will earn €3m per season for the next two years as he prepares to take over as first team coach.
Aragonés had long since committed to leave the Spain job following the conclusion of this summer's European Championships and it appears that by opting to move to Turkey he has confirmed that there is no going back on his word.
The ex-Atlético Madrid man will officially pen his contract on June 30 after Euro 2008 draws to a close, with Zico having already left the 'Efsane' hotseat.
Aragonés, it seems, will be joined by others, with the official club statement pointing out that the coach will be joined by a fitness coach, a technician, and a goalkeeping coach. -

Aragonés Denies Fenerbahçe Agreement
Luis Aragonés has denied that he has agreed to become the new coach of Fenerbahçe next season despite an official announcement from the Turkish club claiming he had.
The veteran coach is due to step down from the Spanish national team after the European Championships and has admitted that he will not be retiring from the game.
Fenerbahçe were strongly linked with his services, but appear to have jumped the gun in stating that they had reached a two-year agreement.
"I don't understand it because Luis has not signed anything with anybody," Aragonés told reporters in Vienna.
With Spain due to play in the semi final only a day after the news broke, the trainer was asked if he believed that the report would have any bearing on his squad.
"I don't think its going to affect the team at all," he explained. "It is just another piece of news. Sometimes the news is true and sometimes it isn't." -
