Spain's Aragones signs with Turkey's Fenerbahce

"I am here both with my brain and heart to work for Fenerbahce," Aragones, 69, told at a news conference. "I am here to succeed the best."

Aragones replaces Arthur Zico as Fenerbahce coach after the Brazilian led the Istanbul-based team to the 2007 Turkish league title in his first year in charge, and reached quarter finals first time in its history in 2008 UEFA Champions League.

Vicente del Bosque is expected to coach Spain after Aragones' decision to leave the national team despite leading it to the European Championship title, its first major trophy in 44 years.
