Galatasaray says it has ended its contract with coach Frank Rijkaard.
In a statement posted on its official website on Wednesday, Galatasaray also says it terminated trainer Johan Neeskens' contract.
Galatasaray made a disappointing start to the season and fans have been calling for Rijkaard's resignation.
The decision to part ways with Rijkaard follows a 2-1 defeat to Karabukspor last week, and a 4-2 loss to Ankaragucu this week in the Turkish Superleague.

Private NTV television says Galatasaray approached its former coach Fatih Terim for the position, but Terim rejected the offer for ''family reasons.''
Rijkaard coached Barcelona before moving to Galatasaray.
