Troubled Sporting Lisbon has appointed Sinisa Mihajlovic as their new head coach on a three-year contract.
The 49-year-old has spent most of his managerial career in Italy having assisted Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan before spells at Sampdoria, Fiorentina and AC Milan.
Mihajlovic replaces Jorge Jesus, who has since taken a job in Saudi Arabia with Al-Hilal FC, and the Serb has work to do with a number of off-field issues impacting on the club.
Jesus quit Sporting in early June after masked fans invaded the training ground and attacked the squad.
