Bulak mans Manisaspor helm

Turkish Super League outfit Vestel Manisaspor have appointed Giray Bulak as their new coach following yesterday's resignation of Ersun Yanal.

Relegation concern
Bulak, 49, will put pen to paper on a one-and-a-half-year deal on Wednesday. The former Trabzonspor, Antalyaspor, Elazığspor, Ankaraspor AŞ and Denizlispor coach took over at Sakaryaspor AŞ at the beginning of the season but then cancelled his contract by mutual consent. He will be assisted by Aykut Canik, Orhan Çıkrıkçı and goalkeeping coach İbrahim Örencikli in his new role and takes over a side currently in 14th, three points above the relegation zone, having won just once since October.
