Spain coach Aragones is lined up by Turkish side Fenerbahce

Spain coach Luis Aragones is set to join Fenerbahce at the end of Euro 2008.


Aragones has reportedly agreed a two-year deal with the Turkish side, who are looking for a new manager after Zico left them last week.

The 69-year-old will be aiming to finish on a high note with Spain, who face Greece tomorrow having already secured their place in the quarter-finals.

Aragones is set make wholesale changes for the Group D clash in Salzburg, with Liverpool duo Pepe Reina and Xabi Alonso plus Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas all set to start.

"My thought is to change almost everyone and give other players a chance," said the Spain coach.

Opposite number Otto Rehhagel, meanwhile, will not be sacked despite the team's early exit from the tournament.

Rehhagel, who led Greece to the title four years ago, recently extended his contract until 2010. Chief of the Greek Football Association Vassilis Gagatsis said: "It is easy to change a coach but trust and continued support is what has kept this team together."
