Former Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini is again being linked with a move to Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe Worldwide reported on February 24 that Mancini could be a possible summer replacement for Luis Aragones if the club decides to make a move after the season. Now Turkish and Italian sources are again discussing the possibility of the Italian coach taking over.

According to various Turkish and Italian sources, Mancini is on Fenerbahçe's shortlist as a potential replacement for Luis Aragones. Fans and sources close to the club are putting the heat on the Spanish general as the team continues to slide in league play.

Mancini is the second coach being discussed this week, as Fenerbahçe Worldwide reported on Monday that former coach Christoph Daum is being rumoured as a possible replacement as well. Turkish newspaper Sabah and Fenerbahçe Worldwide reported last month that Mancini is being considered for the Canaries' position.

The 44-year-old Mancini resigned from Inter Milan last season after their knockout in the UEFA Champions League. He won three Italian titles with the club. He also coached fellow Italian sides Lazio and Fiorentina before joining Inter Milan.

Fenerbahçe right winger Colin Kazım-Richards is once again subject to transfer rumours which link him with a move back to the UK. This time, the Premiership side interested in transferring Kazım-Richards is Portsmouth FC who are reportedly preparing an offer worth 3 Million Pounds for the 22-year old Turkish international attacking midfielder.

On Saturday, Turkey's Vatan newspaper rumoured that English side Portsmouth FC were monitoring Fenerbahçe's right winger Colin Kazım-Richards. A report written by Feridun Niğdelioğlu suggested that the Pompey club had set aside 3 Million Pounds for the transfer; a substantial offer indeed for Fener who had transfered the East Londoner for 1.8 Million Pounds two seasons ago.

Currently there is big unrest between the 22-year old attacking midfielder and Fenerbahçe manager Luis Aragones. The talented youngster has had 'disciplinary' issues with the Spanish coach, as the Turkish press has constantly reported.

Also, ever since the arrival of right winger Gökhan Emreciksin, Kazım-Richards has become the unwanted man in the squad. Once a constant first-team member for Fenerbahçe, battling it out on the pitch with players from top clubs like Sevilla and Chelsea in the Champions League last season, Colin Kazım-Richards has now become sidelined. Lastly he wasn't even picked by Aragones for the 18-man match roster against Bursaspor on Friday.

The 22-year old has also had financial problems with the club, as the press recently reported. He was rumoured to have complained that he wasn't properly receiving his payments. Fenerbahçe denied these reports and had attacked rivals Beşiktaş who were reportedly in contact with the player.

Colin Kazım-Richards, or Kazım Kazım as we call him in Turkey, still has two more years at Fenerbahçe; his contract ends in May 2011. If the Portsmouth rumours are true, then the Yellow Canaries may have a profitable offer in their hands at the end of the season.
