Galatasaray have been talking with former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini in Istanbul , Turkey .
President Unal Aysal and chief executive Lutfi Aribogan have met with Roberto Mancini.
Mancini, 48, has been out of work since being dismissed as City manager in May after a three-and-a-half-year reign at the Etihad Stadium which included a Barclays Premier League title success in 2012 and 2011 FA Cup glory.
Fatih Terim was sacked as Galatasaray coach earlier this week after rejecting a contract extension.
Terim, who is also in charge of the Turkish national team, was voted out at a meeting of the club's board of directors.
