The Turkish Football Federation has confirmed that Guus Hiddink has been appointed as the new head coach of Turkey's national side. The Dutch gaffer has signed a two-year deal with an option for two additional years.
Hiddink recently revealed that he wouldn't extend his expiring contract with the Russian FA and had since been continually linked with nations such as Nigeria, Ivory Coast and North Korea.
However, the successful coach has now decided to commit his future to Turkey. Hiddink's contract will start on August 1, 2010.
His first task will be to guide the Turks to Euro 2012. Turkey were paired with Germany, Belgium, Austria, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan for the qualifying campaign.
The 63-year-old Hiddink has been successful as the national team coach of Netherlands, South Korea, Australia and Russia in the past.

That's game over in Milan, folks, and the scoreline is 4-0 in favour of Milan.
Arsenal fans will be reeling after seeing their beloved club underperforming so horrendously this evening, and I'm sure readers will be dying to hear what Arsene Wenger has to say in his post-match interview!
Reaction, match report and player ratings are all on their way, so stay tuned!

GOAL NUMBER FOUR FOR MILAN! Ibrahimovic has scored from the spot after getting back up from a clumsy challenge in the box from Djourou!
It's 4-0 Milan and Arsenal are looking like a second division team here!

Here's an interesting fact: Arsenal have never lost by more than three goals in the Champions League. Can Milan make history tonight?

WHAT a save from Abbiati there - wonderful diving effort to keep out a Van Persie volley. Has Abbiati now made more saves tonight than Szczesny? (just kidding)
Lets go over to Sergio Stanco now, who has an update for us from San Siro:
"After the third goal was scored the Milan fans began to sing “whoever doesn't jump is an Inter fan!” and the entire stadium burst into dance.
"A rather concerned looking English colleague turned to me to ask for reassurance, such is the level of excitement here tonight!"
