Besiktas says it has signed Bernd Schuster as its new coach on a two-year contract.

Besiktas says the former Real Madrid coach has agreed to a ?2.6 million ($3.12 million) deal. The Turkish club made the announcement in a statement to the Istanbul stock exchange.

Schuster takes over from Mustafa Denizli, who quit last week for undisclosed health reasons.

Besiktas finished fourth in the Turkish Super League last season, behind Bursaspor, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.
