Well the Blackburn job has been filled so Brendan Rodgers will have to look elsewhere.

The currently unemployed former Liverpool manager is probably just enjoying life as free man for a while before diving back into football management.

However according to reports in Turkey, it seems like he could be about to try and recreate some of that old Graeme Souness magic.

The ex-Liverpool midfielder and manager spent an ill-fated period at Galatasaray in the 1990s and was known most famously for planting a Galatasaray flag in the centre circle of the Fenerbahce pitch after a cup tie in 1996

Well, according to FotoSpor the Antrim native is being linked with taking over at the Turkish giants who are now managerless, despite the club being third in the Turkish league.

However, they sacked Hamza Hamzaoglu on Wednesday, and are being linked with the Irishman as a short term solution to their current managerial vacancy.

Hamzaoglu won the league and cup double last term, but a mixed start to their season led to Wednesday’s sacking.
